hi, i'm sakura .
I am a Designer and Animator with Japanese roots based in Las Vegas, passionate about creating memorable experiences through unique art expression and creative storytelling. I currently work as a Graphic Production Designer at Blueprint Studios, where I specialize in Graphic Design, Production Coordination, and Installation Management. When I'm not in the studio, you can find me drawing caricature art at local art markets!
Professional Experience
My journey in design began at Nevada State University Library, where I served as a Designer and Events Coordinator. During my tenure, I revamped the art program by leading comprehensive design initiatives, marketing campaigns, and event coordination. Under my direction, the library achieved remarkable recognition—winning the 2023 Student-Focused Department of the Year Award from the Nevada State Student Alliance, followed by an outstanding 97% campus-wide student satisfaction rating in 2024.
This foundation led me to Blueprint Studios as a Graphic Production Designer, where I bridge creative vision and reality—shepherding conference and tradeshow projects from pre-production through printing across cities like Chicago, Anaheim, Denver, and San Francisco, while working directly with clients to bring their brand stories to life.
Education & Recognition
I pursued my education at Nevada State University, specializing in Animation and Art Direction. My commitment to experimental filmmaking has garnered significant recognition within the academic community. My films "Can Angels Fly?" (2022) and "Dove" (2023) were both selected for the prestigious Undergraduate Research And Creative Works Conference. Most recently, my film "Train of Thought" (2023) received the Best Long Animation Film Award in 2024, marking a significant milestone in my creative journey.
