ABOUT CHACO

Graphic / Web designer

HI, MY NAME IS HISAKO

"CHACO" IS MY NICKNAME

I have substantial experience in:

Graphic Design, Software Localization, Software testing, multilingual DTP, Web design

My career started in Japan in the 90s as a graphic designer for a software company in the B2C sector. The good development of the sales figures quickly helped me to develop into a digital creator, topics were broad, e.g .:
Advertisements, catalogs, packaging, brochures, posters and Labels, manuals, software tests and software localization. In the following years in London and Germany, I was able to build on my experience in print and software.
I am constantly training myself and I like to learn how to use new tools very quickly.
