hello! i’m sadha…

I’m a non-binary (they/he), Japanese and Black illustrator and designer. Born in Yokohama, Japan, I moved to the US as a child and grew up in the south east (primarily in Alabama). I later attended the Watkins College of Art in Nashville, TN and graduated from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in December 2021 with a BFA in Illustration and a minor in Creative Writing.

As an artist, I am incredibly passionate about book design, poster illustration, and comics. Anime and manga have been a huge part of my life growing up as it gave me a way to connect to my home and my family oceans away. My experiences have all greatly influenced who I am and the art I make, from being a non-binary lesbian in the south to my identity as a mixed-race otaku and everything in between.
