In a world where creativity bridges cultures, Yuka from Kanagawa, Japan, stands as a testament to artistic passion and determination. A quiet yet warm individual, she expresses herself through sketching and drawing, capturing people in their everyday moments. Though she was initially drawn to manga, her artistic curiosity led her to explore human expressions beyond fictional worlds.


Yuka, 27 but often mistaken for someone much younger, blends fashion and art seamlessly. Her signature look—glasses, a stylish wardrobe, a necklace, and blue shoes—complements her creative identity. She has a deep love for music, the outdoors, and global connections. Her journey in art is not just a hobby but a lifelong commitment; she has vowed to continue drawing until her final days.


Her artistic journey is intertwined with her professional life. Working in the fashion industry, she previously had to pass three rounds of interviews to join SHEIN, a challenge that tested her perseverance. Beyond her career, her desire to connect with the world led her to learn English and travel to the Philippines, where she met an Arabic friend, expanding her international perspective.


Yuka’s story is one of resilience, ambition, and artistic evolution. She is not just an illustrator—she is a dreamer who sees beauty in everyday life. Her art is a universal language, speaking to people across borders and reminding us of the power of human connection through creativity.  For her, there are no barriers or limits to exchanging ideas and ways of living life.
