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 podcasts. Some of my favorite programs are Ridiculous Crime (highly recommended!), This American Life, Heavyweight, and (last but not least!) Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! My trusted news source is NPR. 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.
