My name is Akane, I'm from a small town in Japan and now based in Thailand. Since 2017, I have been working as a freelance Graphic Designer and Illustrator to collaborate with clients worldwide, from startups to major corporations. I offer concept-driven creative solutions that reflect my design skills and artistic talent, combined with strong project management and communication abilities that I cultivate over 10+ years in the industry. I can handle a variety of creative projects (listed below) and my expertise particularly lies in logo design, branding and hand-drawn illustration in minimalistic and/or playful style. 👩🏻‍💻 My specialties ✓ Illustration (for posters, T-shirts, product labels, murals, shop windows, etc) ✓ Logo Design and Branding ✓ Print Design (for flyers, packagings, brochures, café menus, vehicle wraps, etc) ✓ Web Design (WordPress/SEO) ✓ Photography and Editing ✓ Translation (Japanese to/from English) 🎨 My style My creative style is deeply influenced by both Japanese pop culture and minimalist aesthetics, reflecting my upbringing in Japan where I developed a strong foundation in design principles and drawing skills. Combined with my design education and work experience overseas, I have a unique advantage in creating Japan-themed designs tailored for a global audience. (Note: Japanese anime/otaku style is NOT within my scope of expertise) 🔮 Generative AI I use generative Al sorely as my design assistant - to help with brainstorming, inspirations and create drafts and mockups. I may use it to help creating design elements, but do not use it to create and/or edit the finalised design. You can find out the details of my past projects in the portfolio section below, or visit my portfolio website: akaneyabushita (dot) com - these will help you understand my creative process and style, and gives you insights of how past clients have evaluated my work. Please feel free to reach out via direct message for project enquiries and availability. I look forward to collaborating with you to create unique projects together!
