Jean Snow is Production Services Manager at Ubisoft Shanghai.
Previously, he was based in Tokyo for over 15 years, where he lived and breathed design, pop culture, and gaming, sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes (he was also Executive Director at PechaKucha). He has reported on these obsessions for various online/offline publications, including the following: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, 1UP, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Wired’s Game|Life, PingMag, CNNGo, Phaidon, and The Japan Times.

This month’s edition of my “On Design” column for THE JAPAN TIMES was in today’s paper, and can be read online here (free registration required after a week). It covers some kitchen-oriented Amadana products, the upcoming Cyclone Cleaner from METAPHYS, Jurgen Lehl‘s collection of stools, and some anniversary items from KOKUYO.
