OUR TEAM
ASHTON SUMIHARA
CO-FOUNDER / BRANDING DIRECTOR
Ashton is a branding and creative director with an international background, having studied in Hong Kong and the United States within highly competitive and culturally diverse environments. Early exposure to fine art and applied design shaped a strong visual foundation and sensitivity to how ideas are communicated through form, narrative, and context.
Her experience spans consulting, branding, marketing communications, and project management across multiple industries. Fluent in Japanese and English, she works with clients to translate strategy into clear brand identities, narratives, and service experiences across markets.
ALLAN ABANI
CO-FOUNDER / PHOTOGRAPHER
Allan Abani is a photographer working across portraiture, fashion, and entertainment. Raised in the south of France in a creative family influenced by painting, he developed an early sensitivity to composition, light, and emotional nuance.
His path into photography was unconventional, moving from mechanical work into the international breakdance scene where he documented performers and movement for the biggest competitions in the world. Now based in Tokyo, Allan collaborates with global talents and brands including Chanel, Bvlgari, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Vogue. He is also the creator of IRL PHOTOSHOOT and the founder of ZERO, an independent magazine dedicated to image and editorial storytelling.
