about

Hello! I’m SADHA, a non-binary (they/them), Japanese and Black illustrator and designer. Born in Yokohama, Japan, I moved to the US as a child and grew up in the south east (primarily in Alabama). I later attended the Watkins College of Art in Nashville, TN from 2017-2020, and graduated from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in December 2021 with a BFA in Illustration with a minor in Creative Writing.

As an artist, SADHA is incredibly passionate about book design, poster illustration, and comics. Anime and Manga have been a huge part of my life growing up. It gave me a way to connect to my home and my family oceans away. That alongside my experiences navigating being a mixed race individual has greatly influenced who I am and the art I make.
