Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself
Hi there! My name is Nao, I’m 34 years old. I live in Paris.
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by video games, manga, anime, and Japanese culture.
Because of that, I started to study Japanese in college.
My dream was to get a job in Japan.
But being an artist (I love to paint and create!), I quickly realised that I wanted my life to be a bit more artsy, I would say 😊
I wanted to interact more with people but in an artistic manner.
The makeup quickly came into my mind.
Since studying makeup, I’ve been working as a full-time makeup artist.
My main line of work is fashion, but I also teach makeup classes.
Over the years, I have realised that even though I love my job, my true passion is decorating. More specifically, decorating gaming setups.
I first helped my partner and friends set up and decorate their desks.
Since I’ve developed my social media channels, I received numerous requests for decoration advice.
This sparked my passion!
I’m deeply committed to helping others create their own comfy space.
I truly think that your gaming setup has to be a reflection of who you are.
I have started an Instagram account focused on things I love: gaming setup decoration and optimisation, video games, and unboxings.
Also, I have a Twitch channel where I play video games and talk about setups.
I’m planning on creating a YouTube channel in the future, so stay tuned for that!

I have a big living room of 400 ft2 (37 m²).
My boyfriend and I decided to split it into two parts using bookcases to store our manga collection.
Now, one side is our living room, and the other is our gaming room.
It took nearly two years to create our space and find our style, but we had one thing in mind — we really wanted our gaming room to be super cosy!
Our main material is wood, which makes the space feel warm. We’ve got a wooden floor, wooden shelves and bookcases, and a wooden desk.
Instead of having two separate gaming setups, we wanted to optimise the space and have a large desk for both of us.
45+ real shared home offices
Including side-by-side, face-to-face, and open-plan arrаngements.
Our desk is an IKEA KARLBY kitchen countertop (98×25.6″) with an ALEX unit in the middle for some extra support and storage.
This allows for equal workspace on both sides of the desk.
