It was back then 2013, just opening my business as a freelance graphic designer, I had a chance to be a roll in creating visual identity (and a pro-bono member for communication) for a new ambitious non-profit in Tokyo.
Since then, finding and visualizing uniqueness of people shaping a better world is my passion. I know that creating a logo itself doesn't change the world. But I also believe the power of symbol that leads people changing the world.
I have been fortunate to work with people bringing positive impact from all over the planet. Climate, sustainability, social-good, if you are tackling on one of these while looking for a symbol that illuminates the world, you may be at the right place😉

Akihiro is a great designer to work with. He came up with a creative design, great explanation of his thought process, made good suggestions, and was always quick to reply to my messages.

It was an incredible journey! Akihiro was really creative. Because he envisioned something that fully encompassed my idea, but made it work. I am very confident that he doesn’t only created a simple logo for my clinic, he created a brand that helps me to set myself apart from everybody else.
