Senior Art Director, Designer

I'm Sayako.

I love shark trivia, karaoke, and making miniatures.

I grew up moving from country to country, never staying more than a few years, perpetually the new kid. It was hard at the time, but the experience taught me how to be adaptable, open-minded, and a problem solver. I’m as passionate about telling stories from perspectives often overlooked, as I am about the importance of a good laugh. I strive to find a combination of both in my work.

I’m an art director/designer with a (slightly obsessive) eye for detail, currently a Senior Art Director at SPCSHP. I’m skilled in conceptual thinking, print & digital design, packaging design, typography, iconography, and playing well with others.
