⭐︎Womp 3D Verified Creator Hi there! I’m a designer who works across a wide range of styles from playful, pop-inspired visuals to sleek, luxury design. I specialize in Y2K-style 3D graphics and character design. After studying Graphic Design at a university in Los Angeles, I spent four years working with a jewelry brand, where I created brand stickers, packaging, editorial videos, and 3D visuals. I also launched my own line of t-shirts featuring original designs, which quickly sold out at a local market. Now based in Tokyo, I’m working as a freelance designer. If my style resonates with you, I’d love to connect and create something together!
