Biography
Hi, I’m William, an award-winning multi-disciplinary designer, photographer, and artist creating impactful work for growing brands and businesses in Tokyo, Japan. As a creative individual with a passion for design, travel, and lifestyle, I can often be found balancing pixel-perfect projects with real-world adventures.
Life’s too short to do just one thing, which is why I’m always exploring new ways to express myself digitally, organically, and everything in between. Feel free to look around and get in touch.
