Tomoko is a graphic designer originally from Japan. She fell in love with art and sports at an early age. After working for a few years as a sports teacher in Tokyo, she decided to see the world and pursue her other passion: art. She moved to New York City and started working as a graphic designer at an advertising firm.

Eventually, she decided to move to San Francisco and start her own design studio in the SoMa district. She created her own brand, "Colors of San Francisco" which features art prints, stationery, and gifts. Her work is now available in selected museums and several stores in California.

In 2020, she opened her second art studio in Seattle, Washington. The natural beauty and cultural richness of the Puget Sound region provide plenty of artistic inspiration.
