Apparel graphic designer with over 15 years of experience designing for contemporary womenswear, sleepwear, and kidswear.
Born and raised in Tokyo, but refused to limit my dreams there. I took a leap of faith and moved to LA to pursue my passion for design.
Working at both small and large corporate fashion companies in LA and NYC has taught me how to be a good communicator and problem solver who produces effective and efficient results.
My love for colorful, bold graphics, fun typography, and surface designs is fueled by the daily inspiration that surrounds me. I enjoy creating simple graphics that evoke curiosity and create lasting impressions, giving my audience memorable experiences.
My key skills include:
- Trend Research
- Seasonal Mood Board
- Graphic Design
- Textile/Print Pattern Design
- Embellishment/tirm Design
- Flat Sketch (CAD)
- Creating Production Ready Art
- Lookbook design
- Package design
- Brand Design
- Typography
- Knowledge of screen print and wash effect
