Hello, I’m originally from Hyogo Prefecture and currently based in Tokyo.
I graduated from the Department of Design Informatics at Musashino Art University.
I began creating illustrations during my student years and have been working as a freelance illustrator ever since.
I have a deep interest in the ecology of plants and animals, as well as the history and cultures of the world.
My work focuses on capturing a natural essence while bringing a touch of dreaminess to each piece.
I’ve been involved in various projects, including book publishing, advertising, merchandise, stationery, and commercials. In 2024, I also launched my own online shop.
