I live in Tokyo Japan. I studied illustration and graphic design in the university. Since 2004, I have been working as a freelance illustrator.
I work on a wide range of illustrations such as books, textbooks, public relations magazines, magazines, advertising posters for commercial facilities, CD jackets, and novelty goods for theater companies. Most of the illustrations I receive request recently are related to education and child-rearing.
In 2015, I also set up an activity base in Oaxaca, Mexico, opened a gallery cafe, and started planning and management.
Currently, I also focusing on video production such as animation.
I continue to work while feeling the joy of drawing and connecting through activities. I'm working on the concept of delivering an image that spreads the circle of smiles by grabbing it. Please feel free to contact us for requests and consultations.

Policy
For example, I would like to draw a picture that can add color to everyday life, like the joy of finding a flower that just bloomed this morning on the side of the road that I'm used to, which is boring.
Techniques
I draw with acrylic paint and a pen tablet.
I try to draw pictures that make me feel the story and illustrations that convey the warmth of hand-painting.
Recently, there are increasing opportunities to request animations and videos that make use of the texture of illustrations.
Software：illustrator・photoshop etc.
Software：premier pro・after effect・imovie etc.
