Published work:

Since 2019, I have created a series of monthly illustrations for Nomura Research Institute’s publication Financial Information Technology Focus. The theme for 2019 was Little Girls Playing Musical Instruments, and 2020’s theme was Boy’s Playing Sports. In 2021, the theme was simply Colorful Illustrations. (For now, I have to keep 2022’s theme under wraps; however, in about six months, I will be posting some of those illustrations here as well.) Needless to say, I have loved creating each and every one of these illustration!

(To see the full 2019 collection, please visit my portfolio at Behance.)
