I am a multidisciplinary digital and print Designer / Art Director based in New York City, specializing in clean, clear, timeless, and strategic design solutions. With extensive agency and freelance experience, my passion lies in crafting creative campaigns and brand identities that genuinely connect clients with their audiences.
Currently, I work with Pace Branding & Marketing—a prominent, creatively-driven NYC agency that has been operating since 1949 with a renowned niche in real estate advertising. Here, I combine creativity with strategic planning to deliver work that drives measurable results.
Below are some of Pace's current partners and clients.
My approach to design is deeply rooted in my upbringing. I was born in Manhattan and spent six of my formative childhood years living in an artist's village in Japan. Surrounded by a family of creators, including my mother, father, grandmother, and aunt, while immersed in drawing, painting, sculpting, and pottery, I developed a lifelong reverence for the arts. The Japanese and New York cross-cultural foundation heavily influences and elevates my commercial creative work.
Having been immersed in digital design since its early days, I bring a unique perspective that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. I understand how to build a brand from the ground up, ensuring every project is executed with both artistic integrity and technical precision.
