After graduating from an art college in Kyoto, I joined the design department of a textile trading company in Osaka. I mainly worked on bedding and interior textile product design. In the design office, we outsourced most of the designs, but we often couldn’t get the patterns we wanted, so we decided to draw them ourselves and started our own design office, “FROM TEX,” where we can do both planning and design. I specialize in realistic floral patterns, but I also like simple ethnic patterns. In addition to my own original designs, I also design products for famous designers and characters from Japan and abroad.
