//wrk-shp

we call ourselves "workshop" because we like to create stuff.

we are a multi-disciplinary creative duo. our interests range from tiny mundane objects to large scale buildings and everything in between. you can spot us having heated discussions over a bowl of ramen or enjoying the LA sunshine with our pup. wherever or whatever we are up to, we are constantly thinking of ways to better our surroundings through design.

wrk-shp is run by an architect Ryan Upton & an architect-turned-fashion designer, Airi isoda.

having lived on all three coasts of the united states, ryan developed a seeker mentality and a high level of curiosity. he sees design, good or bad, in everything that surrounds him from leaf shapes to curb cuts. never bored with whatever city he finds himself in, you can find him at the nearest art opening or music venue. he travels between tokyo & los angeles with airi.
