I’m a Japanese-Brazilian illustrator and graphic designer who loves telling stories with images. I enjoy creating fun, playful and cute illustrations, but my style is versatile and I always search for the best solutions for each project. I live in Brazil and have lived in Japan during my childhood and adolescence. I also studied for a year on an exchange program in Spain during university, experiences that broadened my view as an artist and enriched my work.
