I started my career as an illustrator, and today I find myself coding. I enjoy both because I believe that Graphic Design exists somewhere between the two. Intuitively I sketch and mix paints on my palette while practicing the logical thinking required to write programing language. I draw like a programmer and write code like an artist.
This duality exists in my life as well. I have come to Western culture from Japan, and I am having a thrilling creative journey here. I am naturally introverted but frequently outgoing. I love a playful approach to design that uses advanced technology. By working between different modes, I am able to open up new possibilities in my creative process.
