About me

Based out of Tokyo and having graduated from the Kyoto City University of Arts with an Art Curator license, I have been working as a graphic designer with international companies in the music, IT and games industries for more than ten years.

In addition to design work I illustrate in my private time—my accomplishments include work for Paramount Pictures, Samonsite and Adobe Behance. My artistic world is one that is both dark and cute, and whose inhabitants share those qualities. With a diverse portfolio I am open to collaborating on a variety of opportunities.

    Monster House

    While my art style is ‘Dark and Cute’ I particularly like drawing animals and creatures. Creatures can have mysterious bodies, and give me the freedom to draw them as I like from my imagination. This illustration is the one of the art pieces I exhibited in Los Angeles over the... continue reading (0, 1 image)
