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.
