Sometimes finding those characters is obvious. In this case, Tomoko is an expert in elevated culinary experiences, helping to market to those who appreciate them too and can use OWIU Goods to enhance their own everyday culinary experiences.

But she notes, “these elevated finishes make the space feel beautiful, unique and lifelike.”
