About

STM STUDIO was launched with passion by Shoji and Momoko in May 2015.

Our life changed when we went to South Africa on our honeymoon in spring 2014 and saw wildlife like elephants, rhinos, and lions, and were fascinated by their beauty. Later, as we looked up wildlife ecology and watched documentary films, we became acutely aware of the wildlife crisis and the importance of conservation. However as we saw wildlife conservation news and reports on a daily basis and the topic of wildlife was often sad news and tragic situations, and we were sometimes depressed. With that being the case, we discussed about how we could have a more fun and bright impact on wildlife and its conservation and decided to create art that combines its beauty with the importance of conservation. It was the moment when we started working together as STM STUDIO.

Since then we have continued to create artworks, both digital and analog, and post them on social media and discuss wildlife conservation issues directly with organizations and activists we have met through it. Today, we provide our art and designs to about 50 organizations and activists in about 20 countries to raise awareness and help them raise funds.
