About Me
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by.
​
My name is Vanessa Nakasone. I'm a Mexican/Okinawan visual development and character artist based in Orange County. I graduated Art Center College of Design, with a BA for Illustration/Entertainment design and I hope to continue my journey as an artist through storytelling and world building.
When I'm not sitting behind my desk flushing out new ideas, you can find me getting some sun and visiting new places. I am a restless artist. I love to travel, which aligns directly with the type of work I create. Places near home, like hikes, nearby zoos and aquariums, or traveling to different countries for new experiences is the way I keep my imagination running wild. I also love people watching and sketching with friends. I find the best way to get inspiration is by observing the people and things around you.
​
I am currently looking for full-time or freelance work.​ Please feel free to send me an email to get in touch!
