Yumi Yamazaki
I am an Art Director for Entertainment and Fine Artist.
As a profound lover of drawing, painting, and artistic storytelling, I have contributed work to games, themed entertainment, fashion design, and films. Previous clients include Walt Disney Imagineering, Mycotoo Inc, Super78, Mattel, and Jam City.
In my personal time, I create traditional drawings and paintings of little worlds inside my head. You can find my little creations pop up in gallery shows from time to time.
