ABOUT ME
I am Yuka Yasutomi, a Los Angeles-based fashion illustrator and artist with over a decade of experience in the fashion, beauty, and lifestyle industries.
After years of working as a graphic designer for renowned fashion and beauty brands, I naturally transitioned to illustration in 2018 — a path that allowed me to return to my lifelong passion for painting and drawing. My work is inspired by a deep love for fashion, elegance, and the joy of celebrating beauty in everyday life. My background as a designer gives me a deep understanding of the industry and a keen eye for elevating each brand’s distinctive style.
I have collaborated with global brands and companies, creating artwork for magazines, packaging, editorials, consumer products, and retail campaigns.
As a live event artist, I offer fashion portrait sketches, painting, and product customizations at in-store events, corporate parties, press launches, brand activations, weddings, and more, creating an elevated, personalized, and memorable experience for guests in real time.
I’ve had the privilege of partnering with notable brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, MIU MIU, Giorgio Armani, and Brunello Cucinelli, among others.
Every stroke is filled with passion and a commitment to capturing elegance, personality, and the magic of each moment, strengthening brand connection and creating lasting impressions.
I look forward to collaborating with you to bring my artistic vision to life and create something truly memorable together.
