Back to original languageAbout Mitsuko
Art director and graphic designer for 13 years, I specialize in editorial design (layout + typesetting) and the creation of visual identities (logo + brand guidelines).
I also have a strong interest in text formatting and the use of **typography**.
I work in various fields, with a preference for culture, art, and gastronomy, and a particular inclination for development on **print media**.
My experience allows me to be equally comfortable in creative tasks and graphic execution requests, with rigorous follow-up of each project I undertake, from brief to final file delivery.
