My work appears mainly in advertising, magazines, books, and on the covers of corporate publications. I also often have the opportunity to create key visuals for meaningful milestones, including the launch of companies, brands, and new services, as well as corporate anniversaries. Alongside my client work, I am slowly developing a personal illustration series titled *World Cities × Fashion*. Inspired by the locations of people from around the world who visit my website, the series brings together the unique atmosphere and fashion of each city. I hope my illustrations bring a small spark of delight to everyone who sees them.
