Professional Bio
I lived in Japan for 6 years before moving to San Francisco. In Japan I worked as a book designer for Agosto publishing company and on book design projects for Graphic-sha, Rockport and Macmillan Language House.
Later I became a web designer for Digital Magic Labs, a Tokyo-based web design company, where I worked on projects such as the FedEx Japan web site. Before joining EZ Board I worked as a freelance designer mainly for clients based in Japan.
I have a B.A. in fine arts from the University of Oregon and intermediate level Japanese skills.
