Approaching Perfection Through Experience

Keiko’s signature style blends diverse elements from her educational background and previous work as a designer. She earned a Master's degree in Interior Design from the Scuola Politecnica di Design in Milan, Italy, after working for Lissoni Associati.

She earned a degree from Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan, before obtaining a design degree from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles. After completing her education, Keiko spent ten years as the senior designer at Boffi Los Angeles, where she developed her unique style by blending influences from Japan, Italy, and Los Angeles.

The combination of these environments lends itself to Keiko’s clean, calm, fresh, and beautiful designs, which she now provides at Studio Keiko.
