Hello, I’m Nao and never “Later”.
I have been a Graphic Designer and branding expert for over 20 years.
I was born in Chiba, Japan and grew up in sunny San Diego. I have worked as a Graphic Designer in Tokyo, Los Angeles, and New York City since 1994.
I graduated from Art Center College of Design, with a major in Graphic Communication and Packaging and minor in Photography. I am proficient in many design related toolsets with the exception of PowerPoint. On the weekend, you can find me driving around in my pickup truck with my two daughters; okay, that was ten years ago–with my lab Runa and my camera, photographing pretty much anything.
