Factorization of my logo

朋奈 = Tomona = Tomo which means best friends in Chinese character + Mona which means alone in Sanskrit
Isolation of logo

I found it's interesting that my name carries the meaning of "moon" in several cultures, yet it also means "buddy" in Japanese/Chinese, and conversely, "loner" or "alone" in another language. I drew inspiration from my name for this logo, and blended it with my design philosophy; "Functionalism" and "DIY/bricolage" mindset.
The organic and fundamental geometric pattern shape my name “TOMONA OCHI”
