Hello!

Koko is a Taiwanese Canadian illustrator based in Osaka, Japan, proudly represented by Lemonade Agency.

For her illustrations, Koko combines hand-inked calligraphy brush strokes with contemporary digital colours, weaving together Eastern and Western cultures - much like her own diverse background. She specializes in editorial, branding, and advertising illustrations, with a portfolio that spans magazines, newspapers, books, packaging, branding, advertisements, and commercials. Fluent in Mandarin, English, and Japanese, Koko has had the pleasure of working with clients from all over the world.

In her spare time, she likes to solve the crimes of criminal TV dramas (before the detectives). She also likes to daydream about creating a rival to Hello Kitty featuring her own cat, Miko.
