About

A little of my background.



Hi, my name is Sophia. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. After graduating from high school at the International School of Sacred Heart in Japan, I decided to go abroad to Massachusetts, Boston to study. I went to the Art Institute of Boston with the highest scholarship.

It was mind-blowing to be exposed to so many talented individuals at the school. The Art Museums and galleries in Boston and in New York were exceptionally amazing; it really made a huge impression on me. After graduating and earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts, I had an opportunity to experience working as an intern at Grant Associates and working full time as a designer at Beaulieu Advertising Company.

After wonderful years working in Boston and in New York City, I decided to pursue working as a Graphic Designer in a weekly and monthly magazine company in Tokyo. Then worked as a Graphic Designer at Bolton Inprint, a printing company in Cairns, Australia. Several years later, I was hired as a Packaging Director for Xyron Inc. and Seiko K.K. in Tokyo. Designing and directing Packaging protocol for famous brands were challenging.

Experienced in working with a small firm and big cooperation in art/graphic design and packaging design made me realize that I have so much to offer to all generations.
