Multi—
disciplinary
designer & technologist.
Léo Aoki crafts cinematic digital systems, brand interfaces and interactive experiences for cultural institutions, luxury houses and ambitious technology brands. Quiet rigor. Loud ambition.
Trained at ÉCAL Lausanne and Tokyo University of the Arts, I lead an independent practice between editorial design, brand systems, motion direction and creative engineering.
Past chapters: principal designer at Bureau Sud, motion lead at A/V/A Studio, fellow at New Museum’s incubator. Now: a studio of one + invited collaborators, deliberately small.

Aura
A workspace where designers brief agents, sketch interfaces, and supervise generative drafts in a single, calm canvas. Ten months of research into how creative teams collaborate with intelligent systems — without losing authorship.

where systems get rehearsedA small,
I keep a quiet record of public recognition. The clients, the makers and the writers who took notice. Selected from 40+ entries.
