Arts, Design & Architecture
Hi, my name is David Umemoto. I started out in architecture, but these days my work moves between sculpture, design, and functional objects. I use concrete, paper, metal, and more recently food as my main materials.
NO-BU-RU began during the pandemic as a way to keep creating from home with my kids. It has since evolved into a platform where I share tutorials, experimental recipes, and DIY projects you can make with simple tools and materials. You will find downloadable templates, process ideas, and sculptural experiments to try at home or take in your own direction.
