reiko hirai
I am a graphic and typeface designer who grew up in Japan and the US. I have a BA in Foreign Studies specialised in Educational Linguistics and completed MA in Typeface Design. My majors may not be a direct connection to one another, but when looking at communication in a broader view, they were right next to each other. Diversity, flexibility, smart, creative, excitement, research and questioning are what I always keep in mind when I design.
