Alice has been working as an independent creative since 2021. Having lived and worked in both London and Tokyo, she’s gained over ten years industry experience across both locations. Working with design studios and collaborating directly with clients, she has refined and focused her career to create work for educational, cultural and non-profit organisations on various projects ranging from brand identities, print and editorial, as well as typographic and wayfinding systems. 

Alongside her professional work she develops personal projects that explore her cultural heritage of Japan and the UK; encouraging broad thinking, cultural sensitivity and the curiosity to deepen understanding and foster connection in multicultural settings. This also inspires her collaborative approach, thriving in learning new perspectives and ways of working to implement experimental outcomes.
