What I Do
I specialise in commercial design appealing to females aged 13-30. I believe in keeping things cute yet not childish, pretty but not too kitsch. I put all my heart into my work and will ensure that you receive the best design possible combining my personal taste as a consumer with an in-depth understanding of japanese pop culture and western zeitgeist.
