Hello! I'm Cris Kashima, a designer and art director passionate about storytelling.


Based in São Paulo – Brazil, I graduated at Anhembi Morumbi University with a BA in Graphic Design and specialized in editorial, data visualization and illustration. I have 9+ years of experience working with publishers, design studios and tech companies. I'm a very curious person and I love to experiment with new techniques and processes, but to be able to translate storytelling visually is what truly makes me happy and grateful in my career.
