Yukari Sweeney grew up in Japan but trained as a designer in London at Eley Kishimoto + Paul Smith in 2008. Yukari still worked in Japan, so she raised her daughter in both Japan and the UK.

Now Yukari and Kimika work side-by-side in their own shop YSD in Greenwich. Today we will talk about Yukari's background as well as her designs and collaborations, upcycling, charity projects and how to build a strong brand in Japan and abroad.

Like many starting out in YouTube, Bobby Coutu started making simple travel videos of his Japan experience when he first came over from Vermont, USA. However, he quickly found a talent for telling deeper stories that often get overlooked. The Q2 documentary style film topics he has on the @q2japan channel are as diverse and varied as the people he interviews and showcases.
