ABOUT
.
In her late 20’s, Akina Hanazuka moved to Chicago.
There, she found inspiration in new opportunities and the ability to objectively appreciate her Japanese background and culture.
With her education in architecture and interior design, she has set out to return the favor by becoming the connection and bridge for overseas clients who value and are searching for possibilities in Japan.
A-bridges is here to assist in traversing your ideas into reality.
