Hello! My name is Ramona Otsuka and I am a printer, illustrator, and designer living in Beaverton, Oregon, currently working as a freelance graphic designer and bookbinder. I completed my B.A. in studio art from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota on June 13, 2015 and grew up in Carson City, Nevada, where most of my free time was spent reading, doodling, and playing hockey and video games with my friends.
I have worked in various media over my life and career, but have a particular affinity for design for print and advertising--often, I believe that visual communication in many cases can be far more accessible and easily understood than words alone, and that the media we consume affects our outlook on the world as a whole, whether we are aware of it or not. With this in mind, thoughtful design becomes even more important in a diverse world.
Aside from drawing and printing, I also write music and play several instruments, and enjoy tinkering with small electronics and computer programs.
I'd love to work with you--let's get in touch!
