Sharing my inspirations for design resources for creative, purposeful brands that’s curated with simplicity, honesty and intention

My name is Alisa Ota Tietboehl, a graphic and communication designer focused on Creative Direction and Trend Forecasting based in Tokyo, Japan. You’ll mainly find me wearing MAOTA (my husband's brand), sharing stories of my everyday inspirations and enthusing about anything that’s related to the arts, textiles, lifestyle and design.

With a strong belief that every brand should have a clear direction and a strong story, I work with the apparel and textile industry focusing on Creative Direction and Trend Forecasting. I’m drawn to anything art, architecture, traditions, travel, craftsmanship and textiles. It’s all about the beauty of design– prioritising simplicity, sustainability and design built to last.
