Profile of Junichi Kato



Junichi Kato

Design + Programing ( + Planning )

+Biography

I was born in 1976. My father was a self-employed copywriter working at home, there has always been a photocopier and some graphic designers working around me since I was a little boy. My father was also a bit of a neophiliac, so there was a personal computer in the house which was quite rare around that time. I remember being 4 or 5 years old, playing with it by following a book of basic programme and typing just the same as what it said. Growing up in these surroundings has had asignificant impact on who I am now, I suppose.

I started designing after graduation from university but before that my maininterests had always been sports like boating and skiing. I started my career as a graphic designer at a design company, and workedfor 3 different companies in 3 and a half years designing mainly packaging and advertising. By then I had become eager to create what I really wanted and for someone to see my work. So I set up my own website in 1998, showing original fonts and illustrations. After that my company expanded their business into web designing so I taught myself how to use macromedia Flash for work. I got established as a freelancer after working for another 3 graphic design companies.
