●Before becoming an illustrator
Previous occupation: Domestic tour conductor, advertising and publishing company (sales, editing)
When I was working at an advertising and publishing company, I went out to do my own research and worked as a writer covering restaurants, beauty salons, and cosmetic surgery clinics. And I directed advertising magazine pages, and made use of my illustration skills to create illustrations and manga advertisements.
In particular, my undercover reports on cosmetic surgery and beauty salons were popular as reading material, and I have produced over 80 illustrated reports. I have also received more and more good reviews directly from client and customers, and this has led me to develop a deep interest in commercial illustration and manga advertising, which is what led me to aim to become an illustrator.
●As an illustrator
I started working as a freelancer after getting married. Thanks to the many connections I have made, I have had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, including the main visual for a Japanese goods store overseas, a poster for the Kyoto Metro underground shopping mall "Kotochika", books (personal color, business etiquette, etc.), various magazines, free papers (Hot Pepper), ANA in-flight magazines, booklets to be distributed in COSE Cosme Decorte stores, and booklets for the Dyson hair dryer launch event.
During my time at the advertising agency, I had a lot of opportunities to see the efforts of photographers, editors, designers, directors, and others in their various roles, which was a valuable experience for me. And I feel that these are still relevant in my work as an illustrator.
So I continue to draw today with the hope that the illustrations I draw will bring a little excitement to someone's heart.
