NAO / DESIGNER & VISUAL THINKER

HELLO, CREATIVE FRIENDS.

「ちょっと気になる」を、
忘れられないデザインに。

I'm Nao, an independent designer based in Tokyo. I work at the intersection of clear thinking and playful expression, with a soft spot for bold type and unexpected color.

From the first sketch to the final detail, I make room for experimentation. These self-initiated studies are a glimpse into how I think, explore, and make.
