■Rin Shimizu

I learnt to draw before I could walk. I never stopped drawing. My passion has shifted to design though, with a growing interest in the marketing field and, rather than aiming for pure self-expression, After studying in York University/Sheridan College for the Bachelors of Design Honours Degree, I found enjoyment in designing for someone else and solving problems through design. In addition to my education in Canada, I went on an exchange to Keio University in Japan to study marketing.
