About

I’m Payal Adhikari, a freelance illustrator and digital artist based in Tokyo, Japan, and I’ve been creating art professionally for the past five years. I deliver character design, digital portraits, and original illustrations for individual clients and small online businesses, and I’ve completed 100+ commissions covering fan art and social media artwork too.

I also enjoy supporting others through teaching—most recently as an assistant teacher at an NGO-funded school—because clear communication and structured guidance are important to me. I’m currently pursuing a BA in Art and Design at Temple University Japan, and I bring strong multilingual communication skills (English C2, Hindi, Bengali, and Japanese N5) along with tools like Adobe Illustrator, Clip Studio Paint, and Figma.
