About the Designer
TOMOKO TODO
Director / Designer
I have loved drawing pictures since I was a child. As a junior high school student, I kept files of clippings of attractive-looking advertisements that I cut out from overseas magazines such as VOGUE.
I discovered collage and digital design at college and became fascinated by them. I remember the moment that I thought: "This is really exciting! I could do this forever!"
After working at a design office for about 6 years, I started my own business in 2014 as cordes design.I also taught Photoshop and Illustrator at college seminars between 2011 and 2015.
Furthermore, I have launched a cultural experience project in Japanese calligraphy, using my skills and experience in the art. I started Japanese calligraphy when I was 4 years old, and have a license as a calligraphy instructor.
The project is aimed at offering a memorable experience that allows you to feel and enjoy the "Japanese spirit," adding beauty and color to your everyday life.
I also intend to give children a Japanese calligraphy experience that uses the five senses.
I wish to contribute to society through the art of Japanese calligraphy. I am currently exploring the potential for Japanese calligraphy expressions.
