300 Projects and Counting

I’m proud to share that Studio KU+ has officially reached Project No. 300 since I started this journey back in 2009.

Looking back, it’s hard to believe how far things have come. What began as a passion has grown into a studio where ideas are shaped into models that tell stories. Every single project has been possible thanks to the trust of my clients, the commitment of those who have worked with me, the generosity of my collaborators, and the encouragement of friends and family.

I want to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been part of this path, especially:

Giuseppe Ceci
Anna Kokot
Yohei Kanemitsu
Zina Babili
Elena Soler
Stevie Doherty
Pepijn van Elten
Josef Ali
Andriana Vasilatou
Radhika Vibhakar
Christianna Tsigkou
Conxa Gené
Meng Hsun Wu
Marta Róbertsdóttir
Ashton Yangwook Kang
Anna Groet
Oscar Sanders
Ernesto Yélamos Quedada
Edgars Rožkalns

Batista Lopez (Studio Basic)
Ayako Nishibori (Ayabori)
Shigeo Arikawa (BACK2NOW COM)
Hannes Wallrafen (Geluid in Zicht)

This milestone is not the finish line — it’s just another step in the journey. I look forward to celebrating the next chapter together, as I work toward Project No. 500 and beyond with Studio KU+.

With gratitude,
Kaita Shinagawa
Owner & Director, Studio KU+
