D A VID SAKUMO T O
WELCOME
My name is David Sakumoto and I am a Japanese and Korean Designer practicing various mediums in the realm of architecture. From an early age, my work connects the love for my roots with my passion for meticulous techniques and craftsmanship.
Within my world, I showcase drawings, illustrations, exhibition designs, and models that demonstrate how the details harness the great power in story telling. It’s in those moments where truths in character come to light.
The following pages include samples of my professional and academic work that embody who I am as a designer.
Thank you for looking.
