annalise june kamegawa
Annalise June Kamegawa is a Japanese-American artist and designer based in Milan, Italy. She received her bachelors in cognitive science from the University of California, Berkeley (‘20) and her masters in product design as a Fulbright Scholar at Politecnico di Milano (‘22). In her practice, she approaches objects and products as semiotic materializations. Her work often explores themes of consumerism and quotidian life through ironic mimicry and narrative texts.
