About
SAYOKO OSADABIO
SAYOKO is a Japanese-born, New York-based transdisciplinary DIRECTOR, DESIGNER, and ARTIST making genre-fluid narratives at the intersection of experiences, films, and performances.
Born and raised in Tokyo, she immigrated to the United States at age 13. Lost in translation, she discovered the power of verbal and nonverbal languages, which influences her work to this day.
After studying Architecture, she has unfolded her career around worldbuilding, identities, and storytelling. Starting in commercial advertising designing experiential environments, it later evolved into creative direction and design for the Arts.
She writes and directs genre-fluid narrative experiences, including experiential, film/content, performance, and hybrid of all. She specializes in designing large-scale immersive sets. Her ideas are made only possible by working with a team of expert artists and producers.
Always turning any briefs into art, she has conceptualized and designed over 100+ worlds and has worked with brands including Nike, Ivy Park, Proenza Schouler, Google, HYPEBEAST, and many more.
