Led the end-to-end design, production, and launch of the YARITORI Residency Program, commissioned by the Embassy of Portugal in Japan.

YARITORI is a annual program that enables Portuguese creatives to live and work in Tokyo for 45 days. For this project, I've established the local support partner, secured institutional partnerships, created the brand (online and offline), designed the application process and oversaw full implementation and follow-up.

The very successful first edition lead to the expansion of the program to Macau and Seoul.

Supported by Instituto Camões (part of the Ministry of Culture of Portugal)
