Serial: Auxiliary Lines for Things & People #00 Prologue: Sketching Air
PROFILE
Mai Tsunoo / Design Writer
After graduating from Keio University with a degree in Environmental Information Studies, she worked for a manufacturer and served as an assistant to design engineer Shunji Yamanaka from 2012 to 2016. Following a one-year stay in Scotland, she is now active as a freelancer.
While exploring expressions to convey messages seamlessly, she engages in writing for media such as "NIKKEI DESIGN" and works on exhibition planning and copywriting.
Notable works include the 70th Anniversary Exhibition of The University of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science, "もしかする未来 工学×デザイン" (The National Art Center, Tokyo, 2018), and the text writing for "虫展―デザインのお手本" (21_21 DESIGN SIGHT, 2019).
Whether it's a product, graphic, space, fashion, or digital domain, there is no creation devoid of the concept of design. The ingenuity of the design, considerations for the user, and the creation of fresh experiences—many things can be discussed using the word "design." Design is present in every aspect of life.
This is an essay that strings together the author's impressions, gained through interactions with artificial objects and new experiences, listening, talking, and researching daily, under the guise of a design writer, in order to satisfy a hungry curiosity.
#00 Prologue: Sketching Air
Fortunately, I have been given the opportunity to write a serialized column starting this month. The allure of a serial—something many writers dream of. I always wanted to say, "The deadline for my serial is killing me." I'm thrilled. However, the truth is, it wasn't a direct request. I had been expressing my desire to do it here and there, and an old friend who had ascended in his career obliged. Thank you, Tajima from ZOZO NEXT. It's worth voicing your desires.
