Greetings! I'm Kaori, a Japan-born New York City-based creative director and designer.

I bring a wealth of expertise as a seasoned leader and a skilled creative director, building high-performing teams that excel in crafting compelling narratives and driving impactful work through campaigns, branding & design.

I relish tackling complex creative challenges across diverse genres and have built a track record of delivering unique and impactful results.

Passion and vision are my driving forces, and I thrive in environments where good design and compelling stories matter. With a belief in the transformative power of design, I've dedicated my career to showcasing its potential.

I find joy in expressing complex emotions through timelessness, distilling them into simple geometric forms, light, and movement. There's also a subtle dance between my Japanese heritage, philosophy, and aesthetics, harmoniously interwoven with American pop culture.

"Kaori is an imperfect perfectionist who cherishes and expresses momentary simplicity in all its zen-like wonder." - Travis Spangler, Say the Magic Words.
