I'm a freelance graphic designer based in Japan with over 10 years of experience in branding, logo design, book design and visual communication. After working for several major design agencies including Nippon Design Center, I started my own practice in 2018. I've collaborated with clients across a variety of industries—from lifestyle brands to tech startups—helping them build strong, meaningful identities through clean, concept-driven design. My work combines minimalist aesthetics with a strategic approach. Whether it’s a logo, a full brand identity, or printed materials, I aim to create timeless visuals that resonate with the target audience. I’m especially interested in working with international clients who value clarity, creativity, and cultural depth in design. Let’s connect if you’re looking for thoughtful and refined branding solutions. I’m open to remote freelance projects and collaborations worldwide.
