1. What's your story? Where are you from?

I'm Hiroko Nakano. I was born and raised in Tokyo. I went to college in California where I studied business marketing and worked at a startup. I moved back to Tokyo and worked as a director at a startup. Then I realized that design matters for any product, so learned about graphic and web design. I have been living in Tokyo and currently freelance illustrator. 0910_ballpitmag_6

Vivid color and light.

Art allows me to express my feelings and makes my life more comfortable. It also makes the world more interesting to me. I believe art can make a difference and people smile. 0904_ballpit
