Hello, I'm Tara. I'm a graphic designer that focuses mainly on illustrations and storyboarding.
Born from a Minnesota Native dad and a Japanese Mom, I grew up on a crop farm in the middle of nowhere in Southern Minnesota.
Graduated from the University of Minnesota with a BFA in Graphic Design with an emphasis on illustration and communication.
I have a deep love and passion for illustrations of any kind, whether it's storyboards for step-by-step tutorials on installing a water filter, or drawings of animal butts for a restaurant wall.
I live a short drive from the Twin Cities with my family: my husband, baby, and two cats,
Cheddar and Mozzarella. When not laying on the couch face down, I am usually sewing or playing video games on my Switch.
