About me

SHINGO SHIMIZU is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and

Design's Communication and Design program. The Montreal-born,

Toronto-bred designer was exposed to drawing at an early age through

his father's graphic design work.

After many successful years working as a full-time designer, Shimizu

pursued to work independently, to follow his passion, Illustration. His

vector-based style echoes visual cues derived from pop art to Manga to

his latest obsessions. Music is another driving force in his visual

language, as he DJs nights in local bars and clubs. Shimizu had

produced visual creatives for numerous clients

including Coca-Cola, Virgin Mobile and Toyota. His work has

also been featured in Mixmag, Business 2.0 and Popular

Mechanics. Shimizu has been recognized by The Advertising and

Design Club of Canada and American Illustration and also been

profiled in Vektorika's 'Greatest Hits' issue.

Currently, Shimizu works out of his Toronto studio where he takes on

various projects including Illustration, Graphic and Character Design.
