Seitaku Tak Aoyama

Seitaku "Tak" Aoyama began his education at a progressive kindergarten in Tokyo, Japan where he engaged in a very hands-on art-centric education. Being surrounded by custom-made one-off products rather than mass-produced goods, Tak started off early finding the beauty of creating and discovered his affinity for adaptability.

Studying economics at university in Tokyo, Tak spent a few years in the orthodox corporate world at a Korean global corporation. He had to move forward from the chance to secure his corporate career and look for creative ways to constantly evolve. Tak started working nights to save money and found himself in California where he studied art and industrial design.

Tak went on to produce toys back in Tokyo and establish a graphic design studio back in the US. A branding package for a San Diego City event was the first public application of Tak's artwork. Art for him is the best solution to evolve and take himself in anywhere in the world.

Seitaku "˜TAK' Aoyama's work has been shown in the US & Japan.
