My photo today.

Hello! I'm Mari.
Nice to meet you :)

I'm a graphic and interactive designer with two years of hands-on experience and seven years as a brand strategist.

I've been a traveler all my life. Born in Japan, I have lived in Vietnam, Indonesia, the Netherlands, and now New York City, the United States. Exploring new experiences and recreating them is at my core.
