I am a graphic designer/art director who was born and raised in Tokyo. I'm currently based in Oakland, CA and have been enjoying moving to various locations on a short term basis for projects. For the last couple of years I have worked in Tokyo, New York, as well as the Bay Area.
I love developing strong conceptual designs that can communicate and engage on an emotional level. I strive to find an authenticity that resonates and excites audiences no matter what the platform of the design is.
As a bi-culture designer, I am always curious to learn new perspectives, ideas, and anything that relates to people’s thought process. I enjoy collaborating in my design process and I am always learning from my team and peers.
I am a positive, nice, and drama-free human being who finds joy in a good cup of coffee, traveling, wholesome food and furry friends. I enjoy printmaking as well as collaging (both digital and print) in my free time and I have been really wanting to learn the Risograph Printing! I also love podcasts and am always curious to find out what others are listening to. :)
