About me

Hello.

Please have a look at my online portfolio on:

I studied in the field of Design at University of the Arts London. I am passionate about creativity and have always been inspired by Design. Throughout the course, logo, illustration, apparel and graphic Design has become something that I am proficient in. Although my ethnic background comes from Japan, I was born and raised in the UK. Native in Japanese and English.

Friends and colleagues have described me as an enthusiastic, broad minded and innovative individual and I have been working as a freelance designer, gaining experiences from collaborations, volunteer and internships for 2-3 years that contain works specialised for logo, illustration, character, apparel and graphic designs, tailored to my client.

For the past work experience, I have managed work that made me responsible to create such designs for products that is created and sold to customers. Throughout the design cycles, I have maintained a chronological stage that includes original concepts, selection of appropriate materials and techniques with alteration to meet production standards.

I have built up my drawing skills to a stage where I can deliver information in a limited amount of time, developed understandable conceptual ideas that is constantly thought through for every single aspect in the design, the focus on small details of every bit of colour and the reasons for applying the colour on the designs and moulding a professional level visual presentation.

Following on with my technical skills, I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator, confident in Photoshop and workable in InDesign. Microsoft Office software's (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) are comfortable to work in any different situations.

I must say that I am an enthusiastic individual that is hardworking, flexible and have the ability to work well in a team assisting with several departments as a team player.

A personal opinion to state how I believe that having to do hard work and having fun will truly put the authenticity into one's work. I think the memories; emotion and knowledge will produce authenticity that will lead to great work.

Last but not least,

I am able to start from the beginning of February 2015.

Hoping to hear from you.

Best Regards,

Yuta Shimpo
