My name is Tanaka. It means “we are good” in Shona, one of the languages of Zimbabwe, where I was born. I grew up in eastern United States and Western Canada, so over the years I've been influeced by a lot of differnet styles and cultures. I like to think that my culturally diverse upbringing has given me a unique perspective of the world around me, and that I’ve translated that into great work that makes people say “neat.”
