I was born in Niigata Japan lived in Tokyo for 20 years and learn graphic design as well.

Worked in Tokyo as a graphic and a product designer for apparel company, sign design company, toy design company and for DisneyLand in Tokyo / Hong Kong. 

​

I traveled (and lived) European and South American countries to meet new things and the different cultures. Now I live in the U.S since 2009.

To be honest, I wanted to break my egg shell. (I was kinda timid) 

​

I always wanted to do something different and overturn the "stereotype idea". Creating and designing is a privilege for a human being and won’t be replaced by an A.I.

I remember I used to draw the portrait and I'm a self-taught artist. I started designing an accessory (bag or more thing) and drawing a portrait since end of last year (2019) to accomplish my dream. (showing my works to the world) My works will be out of art theory but it might be an unique and eccentric one but that is my goal....
