I'm a Japanese-American Designer focused on Visual, UX/UI, & all things art.
Hi, I'm Cary. I believe that art is the key to gaining a better understanding of what the human mind is capable of. I truly am passionate about anything that relates to art. As I progress through my career as a creative, my goal is to push the boundaries of design by integrating all aspects and mediums of art into my work.
As a 27 year-old graduate of California State University, Long Beach I recently acquired my BFA in Graphic Design as of December 2021. It doesn't stop there though, during my journey through the BFA program, I've grown to appreciate UX/UI and have found myself enjoying the process of understanding the connection between users and their interactions with everyday things. The ability to creatively find solutions to everyday interactions, experiences, and products is honestly the gift that keeps on giving.
Aside from my artistic side of my life, I also enjoy an active lifestyle including activities like Surfing, Judo, MMA, Breakdancing, Volleyball, working on cars, card magic, and Fitness training. I believe that an active lifestyle is not only good for your physical health but can also be great for your mental health.
I'm currently based out of Gardena/Torrance, California.
