002: Lindsay Arakawa / Japan / Documenting through photography and illustration

Today I’m chatting with Tokyo based creative, Lindsay Arakawa. Lindsay possesses that magical combination of creativity and strategic thinking. She’s part freelance social media strategist and part creator of dreamy images that combine hand drawn messages and illustrations over her film photographs. We discuss the serendipitous way she came to find her creative style, how she uses social media to experiment and help push her work forward, how she recently took the leap to move from New York City where she oversaw Instagram strategy and creative at Refinery29, to Tokyo where she’s embarked on a freelance career. Lindsay also generously shares how she finds clients, how she built confidence in herself and her work, and the challenges that have come along with moving to Japan.Lindsay has a really wonderful energy about her and I left this conversation feeling revitalized. I was inspired by the playful lens she views her creativity through. She doesn’t overthink things, and she creates work that’s a kind of snapshot of who she is in that moment. Coming from a chronic overthinker, it was refreshing to hear her process! I’m excited to share this one with you and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Versed in the ways of the interwebs, Lindsay Arakawa is the former Creative Social Media Strategist of Refinery29 where she oversaw creative strategy and production for social media accounts @refinery29 and @29rooms.  We’re in this transitional period where, not only are the constructs encompassing career being redefined, but the very ways in which we associate ourselves with said career.  Doing a complete 180, Lindsay’s found herself in the heart of Tokyo, teaching English, building upon her freelance portfolio, and allowing for creative passions to further unfold. There’s such beauty in this conversation in that it’s captured someone in a moment of realignment with themselves, when so often all that is shown of one’s journey is the end result.  Here’s to guts, glory, and this dauntless lady whom I am very excited to have on as our first guest of the new year!!!  This is “New York to Tokyo” with Lindsay Arakawa.
