Hi, I'm Genki Takata — a Berlin-based vector illustrator with 22 years
of professional experience and Adobe Community Expert status.
I specialize in precision technical illustration:
- Cutaway and cross-section diagrams (batteries, bearings, mechanical parts)
- Manufacturing process illustrations
- Scientific and educational diagrams (botanical, molecular structures)
- Automotive and product illustration
- Raster-to-vector conversion at publication quality
My background includes years of work for Japanese educational publishers,
where accuracy and clarity are non-negotiable. Every illustration I deliver
is hand-crafted in Adobe Illustrator — no AI-generated art, no traced
stock images.
What I bring to your project:
✓ 22 years of Adobe Illustrator expertise (Adobe Community Expert)
✓ Print-ready files with proper color management (RGB/CMYK)
✓ Clear communication and on-time delivery
✓ Revisions handled professionally until you're satisfied
Whether you need a single technical diagram or a full series of
educational illustrations, I'd love to help bring your project to life.

I help children's book authors and animation studios bring characters to life. From page to screen.
As a children's book illustrator, I work with self-publishing authors and established authors alike to create illustrations that capture a story's heart while staying true to its voice. I understand what makes young readers (and the parents reading to them) connect with a book: consistent characters, expressive emotion, and a style that fits the story's age group and tone.
As a 2D Character Designer, I bring the same eye for personality and appeal to animation. I design characters built for production: clear silhouettes, consistent proportions, and expressions that read instantly, whether for a pitch bible, a pilot episode, or a full series.
What I bring to every project:
✅A strong grasp of visual storytelling: characters and scenes that do narrative work, not just decoration.
✅Consistency across a full project, from page 1 to page 32, or model sheet to final frame.
✅Collaborative process: I listen first, sketch fast, and refine based on your feedback.
✅Reliable delivery within agreed timelines, with clear communication throughout.
Whether you're a first-time author publishing your debut picture book or an art director building out a new animated series, I'd love to help shape the characters your audience will remember.
Let's talk about your project!
