YUKA NITTA CHARLES (YukaCoco)
Creative Artist | Designer | Digital & Craft Practice
Exploring the intersection of craftsmanship, technology, and narrative design.
About Me
I am a Japanese creative artist based in Paris, working across fashion, digital design, and conceptual development.
My practice moves between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary digital tools — from garment construction and hand sketching to 3D development and visual creation. Rather than being defined by a single medium, I focus on clarity of concept, refined aesthetics, and emotional depth.
With experience in Japan, France, and Italy, I bring a cross-cultural sensibility shaped by couture discipline, technical precision, and narrative thinking.
I collaborate on projects ranging from fashion design and digital garment development to visual storytelling, artistic direction, and interdisciplinary creative work.
For me, creation is not only about beauty, but about intention, presence, and quiet strength.
