I’m a visual artist in love with fantasy worlds, light, color, and storytelling. I’m constantly striving to create innovative work for both my clients and my blog, Kat in Japan.
I have worked with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for years and am passionate about illustration and graphic design. I have experience in social media management, logo creation, website maintenance, photo editing, email marketing, and SEO. I’m also adept at project management, including scheduling, managing vendors, purchasing, and on-time delivery. I’m a jack of all trades, and I hope you’ll agree it suits me well.
Ultimately, as a mixed-race creator, I share my experiences of the world in hopes that they resonate with others. I want to tell engaging stories that can encourage deep thinking and social awareness. And I’m here to help you tell yours, too.
When I’m not working on art, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, cooking, reading, and playing video games. They/she.
