Growing up in Japan, I was fortunate to practice calligraphy regularly. Learning to activate blank paper with black ink instilled a sense of visual balance and confidence to express within limitations. My favorite part of my job as a graphic designer is distilling information to reveal the essence of the message and generating visually compelling expressions from it. I trace this practice to my early days with calligraphy. Happily, I figured out how to turn this passion into a career.

 

I have over a decade of experience working with cutting-edge organizations across various industries. A wide range of creative output includes brand identities, websites and digital product designs, award-winning art books, and immersive museum exhibitions. By understanding your unique challenges, we can together identify the voice of your business. I work and play in Colorado with my family. You can reach me at hi@masumishibata.com. I'd be happy to discuss any potential projects.
