About this episode

Adam Esposito is a self-described creative collaborator and cultural explorer. He is also an English-Italian living in Tokyo. After completing his BA and Master's in design at the Ravensbourne University of London, he jumped into the field working for Gensler London, and eventually Gensler's Tokyo branch.

Adam has been living in Tokyo for the past four years. In November 2019, Adam started his interior design studio in Tokyo: Espo Atelier. Inspired by people, culture & education Adam's main focus and passion are building strong relationships and creating artful spaces.
