Yae Takahashi

I’m an Artist and Designer based in Wellington, New Zealand. I grew up in Japan and moved to New Zealand over 20 years ago. I studied Graphic Design in Wellington and have been freelancing/working as a Graphic Designer since I graduated in 2013.

After having two loving children, my passion is increasingly focused on art & illustration, as I thoroughly enjoy the time I spend drawing and painting with my boys. I’ve started working with acrylic on canvas and have held a few exhibitions of my work. Currently, I enjoy digital illustration, as well as hand drawing and painting. I've also developed a fondness for painting on pots & plates.

​

I am also actively seeking collaborations with individuals and organisations where I can bring my artistic vision and design expertise to projects ranging from picture book illustrations to branding design and product printing.
