TOMOKO

Hi, I'm Tomoko. I'm a San Francisco-based Visual Designer who loves using my hands to create something out of nothing. I'm lucky to have grown up in Japan which has influenced my aesthetic: clean and minimalist yet powerful. Think geometric shapes and surprising color combinations. I also have a deep appreciation for illustration, typography, and iconography. Whether creating a logo or hand lettering cards for friends, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to detail... After almost ten years of working in media marketing at a local TV company in Japan, I decided to better my English and crossed the Yokohama Bay Bridge in 2008 to come to the U.S. While living in the Bay Area, I took a class where I fell in love with how design can speak to someone without saying a word. I'm passionate about the practicality of design. But it's also just really fun.
