MIHARU MATSUNAGA

ART DIRECTOR, DESIGNER,
FOR COMMUNICATION AND CREATIVE

Tokyo and Stockholm

"I work in advertisement where I use my design skills to develop ideas and nonverbal language to solve challenges facing clients. Advertisements are such by nature that people are forced to see it everyday but as I see it advertisement could also be a free delivery system for interesting art and thought provoking concepts and so not only help clients to sell a product but be a positive part of our shared culture. Even if it is only about beautifying the world, one poster at a time."

"Working nonverbal is a way of reaching beyond spoken languages to say what you think. I find it easier to express myself in design, for me it's more intuitive."

Miharu Matsunaga is an art director and designer from Japan working in Tokyo. She has a degree in Graphical Design from Tama Art University, At 17age she started to study art, graphic design, drawing. At present she has joined an exchange program with the experience design agency North Kingdom in Sweden.
