I lived in Akita as an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) for 5 years. While working as an English teacher, I also took on some personal projects on the side: drawing wall murals in cafe bars, making and selling original T-Shirts, and designing/directing the interior wall design in a local training center, to name a few. By doing so, I was able to build my portfolio, grow as a creative, and become an active member of the community. Now that I’ve moved to Tokyo, I hope to expand and grow in the creative community here as well!
