About Litsko

I’ve been in the graphic design industry for 20+ years, and I have a variety of experience working: at an in-house design studio at a large ad agency; with a small marketing team at a public community college; at one of the Big Three automotive companies; and for myself as a freelancer.

I am from Osaka, Japan—I came to the US when I was turning 19 and never left. I’ve found my permanent hometown in beautiful San Diego, California, after moving from HI to MI, to CO, to Central Coast, CA. I am raising an eccentric pre-teen I absolutely adore. I am chill, down-to-earth, and not stereotypical in any ways ^^;

I love listening to NPR. Some of my favorite programs are Ridiculous Crime (highly recommended!), This American Life, Make Me Smart, and (last but not least!) Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! I love reading, mostly Japanese novels, manga, and short stories. My most recent movie favorite is The Substance—visually and subjectively super interesting! My all-time favorites are Big Libousky, Castle in the Sky, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Isle of Dogs, The Lego Movies, and The Usual Suspects. I am most proud of my son speaking in Wes Anderson language.

Please feel free to contact me via lits@designsesame.net. If you’d like to call me or set up a meeting, please request for my phone number in your email.
