About me

Hi, my name is Yoko and I am a Japanese illustrator based in Oregon, US. After graduating art university with a BFA, I worked in the children's books industry for several years. Today (in 2023), I focus and enjoy editorial, advertising, book and surface works. When I'm not drawing, I enjoy cooking and baking for my sons, hiking in summer.

My strength

I am a positive, open-minded, flexible and dead-line-oriented person. 

Style, Tools & File Type

My style is strong shapes with some textures for extra expression. Also I love to play and experiment with different styles to create the best solution for my clients wishes. I'm a digital artist and work with high resolution raster. My go to tools are Procreate and Adobe Photoshop in order to achieve and personal quality to the work. 

My next goal

Not limiting myself, commission for event/exhibition posters and flyers, jigsaw puzzles and deck of cards illustrations, cook books/life-style magazine's spot illustrations, even more like covers, spreads and full pages. Those things sounds glamorous.

Testimonials

"Yoko made fantastically whimsical illustrations for a couple feature stories for us and knocked them out of the park. They really elevated the storytelling. She was a pleasure to work with, met very tight deadlines, and I look forward to working with her again." Brian McManus, Global Editorial Director, NMGnetwork "Yoko was fast, responsive, and good." Edward Behr, Publisher, Editor, The Art of Eating Magazine
