〜Draw a memorable world with warm illustrations〜
Living in Saitama prefecture.
Graduated from Joshibi University of Art and Design.
Participated in an on-campus healing art project, and created murals to be installed in children's wards.
After graduating, I sold imported toys and worked as a lecturer in modeling classes (pictures + crafts making) while I was drawing illustrations and picture books.
My illustrations I draw are of soft colors with watercolor.
Currently, I work as a freelance illustrator, primarily illustrating for children and family media.
