I'm a former student of Mr Kitagawa at the Academy of Art University. Last summer, as I was applying to jobs, he helped me preparing the writing materials, as well as the interview. He is a very responsible and caring mentor and was able to give me valuable advice during the process. I learnt a lot from him.
Yes, I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family if they are in need of a similar service. -

Lastly, Rick is not only a very skilled designer, he's also very well connected and can help you find additional help if needed.

I’ve had the privilege of experiencing a number of the courses Rick designs and teaches. He delivers the material with such care and attention to detail, making sure students grasp the large picture concepts as well as understand the nuances of the techniques. Fun while professional, he’s a great instructor, artist, and pleasure to work with.

Rick does fantastic graphic design. I hired him to design a company logo and create brochures and marketing material. He was very personable and got the job done on time. He did not mind making changes and was good at working with a business as a customer.
