CLIENT WORK
My focus is on creating illustrations that communicate clearly and bring out the best in your project—whether it’s for print, commercial campaigns, or entertainment media.
ARTWORK
I create primarily with analog techniques, especially acrylic gouache, focusing on themes of girls and fantasy ⬇︎

I also enjoy producing experimental illustrations, working with diverse techniques and materials rather than sticking to a single style ⬇︎

My longest-running project is the original character series Nyan-ko & Mii-ko ®︎, which has grown into a line of original merchandise, developed through years of hands-on production ⬇︎
