Hey there! Happy to be meet you
Thank you so much for taking the time to go through my portfolio – I truly appreciate it!
I’m Akemi Kawano, a multidisciplinary graphic designer, occasional film enthusiast, and adventurer, currently based in the Japanese countryside.
Born in Brazil, raised in Japan, and later moving to London, UK, I embarked on a new chapter as a university student, where I remained until 2023, gathering lifelong memories and experiences.
As a designer, I focus on branding and illustrative editorial content, while broadening my expertise in various digital design disciplines, including packaging, spatial design, and user experience.
Outside of design, I enjoy watching films across different genres and exploring new places in my region or travelling back and forth to South Korea. My latest passion has been exploring Korean cuisine and trying different fermented dishes!
