About Me
Ryusei Watanabe
HELLO, I am Ryusei/ Ryan!
Sketch Artist/ Toy Designer
I am a toy designer/ designer who has a passion to create the various environment with fascinating and unique characters. I try to keep up with the latest trends while respecting the classics that help me to create a hybrid, age and gender neutral designs. My strength is non-verbal communication skill by understanding of feasible mechanisms based on my past as a prop artist and detail-oriented art works. Also, I excel at quick visualization and can quickly sketch and edit designs to suit targets and uses.
I would be delighted if I could make a toy that people would love for a long time and that would become someone's best friend ever.
