ファッションデザイナー
長崎県平戸市出身。地元平戸へ教職の道を進む為に帰省した際に平戸の現状の苦しさ、可能性を知ると共に、ファッションへの道を諦めきれず福岡へ。2013年平戸の歴史や文化を自由に引継ぎ新しいカタチとして表現するアクセサリーブランド「TOIROーFIRANNDO」をスタート。平戸で生産する事で雇用を産み出し、女性にやりがいのある職業と自信を持ってもらう事を目的として、平戸、福岡を拠点に全国、海外への販路を広げている。当初1人からのスタートが現在は多方向のパートナーに恵まれ、セカンドブランドとして「shanena」をプロデュースし、自社店「wanna」を天神にオープン。ワンピースオンリーブランドである「CAMUY i PIRMA」のプロデュースなども手がける。

Fashion Designer
Yuri Ojika was born in Hirado city, Nagasaki. When she went back to her hometown to become a teacher, she realized the tough conditions the city faced, along with its potential as a city. She later decided to go to Fukuoka to pursue her dream job, fashion. In 2013, she launched her accessory brand “TOIRO-FIRANDO” representing a new style of Hirado’s history and culture. She is creating jobs for people by producing items locally in Hirado, especially for women to have a meaningful career and build confidence. Now she is based in Hirado and Fukuoka, and expands the market domestically and internationally. Though she started off on her own, she now has diverse business partners, allowing her to create her second brand “shanena” and to open her shop “wanna” in Tenjin. She also produces “CAMUY i PIRMA”, her brand which focuses solely on dresses.
