Who is behind UMEBOCCHI STUDIO?

Hello friend! My name is Diana and I run UMEBOCCHI STUDIO with my assistant, #MyCatHaku. Since November 2022, we have a new colleague - my little Babybocchi! We run our small family studio space based in Singapore and Japan.

During the day, I work with artists to co-develop interactive art installations for children. As my daytime work can get very consuming, I love to spend my free time drawing cute and meaningful illustrations to help me improve my mental health. I created this space to invite anyone who would like to join this journey with me in taking care of both the body and mind for a better self! I talk a lot about this journey through my vlogs on YouTube.
