Meet someone you don’t know yet.
Meet someone
you don’t know yet.
01 / WHY
Why make it?
Before you search, there are people whose names and roles you don’t even know. I want to build a place to encounter local people by chance and discover who they are and why they do what they do.
02 / IDEA
The idea.
Makers, photographers, independent shop owners, teachers, artists, and others active in their communities. A place to meet someone, learn their story, and follow a connection to the next person.
03 / PROCESS
A different way to discover people.
- 01
Begin with a chance encounter
Beyond searching by fixed criteria, start with “The Door Next Door”: an introduction to someone you haven’t met yet.
- 02
Discover the story behind the work
Introductions that reveal what matters to a person, beyond titles and achievements.
- 03
Connect one person to the next
Through TONALINQ RELAY, each featured person introduces someone else, creating a way to follow local connections.
05 / NOW & NEXT
In progress / 2026.09.19
Where things stand.
Developing a service for discovering local people and following a relay of introductions, starting in Hiroshima.
