Aika Noguchi

I am a multidisciplinary designer based in London who graduated from Central Saint Martins, who is passionate about storytelling through designs and creating innovative solutions. I am versatile in working with publication, branding, typography, illustration and packaging. I combine creativity with organisation, high performance and customer focused approaches.

I'm driven, adaptable, dedicated and I thrive on learning and expanding my skills. Outside of design, I enjoy figure skating, going to exhibitions and concerts and playing video games. I am open to creative opportunities that challenge me and allow me to grow.
