Rittsu Kogarasuashi is a self-taught communication designer whose nontraditional approach to breaking into the industry was shaped by experimentation, fan art and free tools. She is now the lead designer at indie publishing house Paper Sky Design, where she collaborates with a global roster of authors, voice actors and digital creators.
With a focus on design and typography, Rittsu approaches her craft with a creative curiosity, but her journey hasn't been without challenges. As part of our Day in the Life series, I caught up with Rittsu to discuss the realities of being a self-taught creative and what the industry needs to improve for a more inclusive environment.
