who is YUICHI?

It’s been quite the

journey so far.

Similar to many aspiring artists, my dream of being in the animation industry started at a very young age; drawing a lot, didn’t care too much about other subjects in school, watching a lot of different films and tv shows, etc. However, unlike others, I feel that I’ve had a different path to getting to where I am today. Better yet: “different path to becoming the person I am today.”

With a strong background and experience in filmmaking, repairing boats, working in restaurants and cafes, freelancing design work, I’ve met a lot of incredible people and accomplished a lot along the way. Although I’ve enjoyed my time being surrounded by these amazing people, I wanted to move on from it and go back to continuing my journey of being in the animation industry. So I went back to school to pursue animation, and instantly fell back in love with it.

Over the past few years, I’ve met a lot of talented and creative people, and was able to work on a lot of cool projects; and it’s all thanks to the skills that I’ve acquired at my previous jobs. Recently, I moved to LA to continue my quest of being in the animation industry as a Production Assistant. In the meantime, I’ll also be working more on my artwork and storyboards to build up my portfolio and document my life a little more. Hope you enjoy your time here!
