Yuki Osada has over 15 years of professional experience in graphic design, illustration, textile design, and apparel graphics. She began her career in New York City designing for major national retailers including Target, Walmart, Kohls, JC Penney, and The Children's Place. Her early work for these and other outlets ranges from home furnishing to intimate apparel to accessories to childrenswear, each inspiring unique perspectives on product design.
Relocating to the Tampa Bay area in 2013, Yuki first worked as a curatorial assistant and exhibit designer for museums in the area. This foray into spatial design led to the position of head designer for Pep Rally Inc., a boutique design agency in Tampa specializing in murals, brand identities, and public and private art installations. Highlights include designs for the gourmet restaurant kiosks at Sparkman Wharf, murals at Julian B. Lane Waterfront Park, and murals celebrating the Tampa Bay Lightning Stanley Cup Championships..
Yuki has a growing illustration licensing line with Soicher Marin Gallery. Her art and wallpaper designs are sold at Anthropologie, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Wayfair.
Hatched originally out of a passion for screen printing, Yuki is also the creator behind the whimsical brand, Miss Johnny Squirrel, offering screen printed illustrated goods on Etsy and Amazon.
