Biography

I’m a Japanese graphic designer living in Vancouver, British Columbia. I specialize in photoshop, publication design, branding, motion graphics and interface design. I visualize concepts in an interesting and creative way, and decorate the design with details and ideas. My passion is to make high-concept art using Photoshop and After Effects. I believe that it is important as a designer to attract people by giving a dynamic and eye-opening experience, and designing concept art such as album covers and collages allows me to create a new and surreal world that no one has ever seen before.
