hi there,
My name is Satoko and I’m a creative director, art director and designer. Through authentic storytelling and holistic campaigns, I’ve been helping brands build consumer awareness, love, and loyalty. I’ve led in-house creative teams, worked at ad agencies and boutique design firms and run my own solo consulting studio. My most recent post was at HOKA as their Senior Global Creative Director.
My clients range from tech to education, fashion to interiors, and performance sports to performing arts. I thrive off the variety because it keeps me curious, challenged, and constantly seeking new solutions and possibilities. I’m a creative problem solver, leveraging research and strategic thinking with thoughtful design and powerful storytelling to inspire and ultimately bring joy to the customer experience.
Oh! And I really like people. Collaborating and creating with great humans is a privilege and it’s definitely the why. Let’s stir up some magical alchemy together – it’ll be fun!
