ABOUT me

Hi! I'm Aia, a surface designer and illustrator.

I graduated from the University of Tsukuba with a degree in Visual Communication Design and worked on a large project for a company that produced museums.

After a few years, I flew to Italy to study jewelry making at a jewelry school and was involved in the launch of a silver brand at a jewelry company in Florence.

In 2004, I moved back to Japan with my husband, whom I met in Italy, and we now live together with our two boys, a teenage son, and a lovely cat.

I love drawing peaceful and humorous illustrations inspired by animals, plants and cool people, and I love making patterns.

If you have any questions or new projects, please get in touch!
