The way we see it, creativity is about something bigger than aesthetics, it’s about ideas. We’re not just a design studio or web shop — we activate curiosity and participation through design, development, and business strategy. Go ahead — ask us how.

Our Team

 

  • Founder Emeritus & Advisor

    Tajima Creative is the brainchild of Elaine Tajima, an idea-generating army of one who has founded and supported numerous projects that advance social and environmental issues. Elaine is one of those people who –– how to put this? –– cares. A lot. About big issues. Women’s rights, ecological activism, global peace –– that’s the stuff that races her heart morning, noon, and night. The companies that are part of Tajima Creative share her set of progressive ideals. And they do so in unique, transformative, wow-that’s-cool ways. As founder and advisor of Tajima Creative, an experiential marketing and design firm, Elaine believes that it’s possible to advocate change with design and to create viable businesses while doing it. And Tajima Creative is happy to prove it.

  • Creative Lead

    TT, as we know and love him, is Tajima’s official jet setter. If he isn’t traveling transcontinental to Asia he can be found surfing the California coast. TT graduated from UCLA and the Art Center College of Design and has been recognized for his design work, including the United Nations Award for his campaign for landmine awareness. TT leads the way on many of Tajima’s digital and 3D animation projects after cutting his teeth at Ogilvy & Mather and TBWA\Chiat\Day. His incredible illustrations and cutting edge ideas never cease to amaze.

  • Strategy & Development

    There’s something about Aimee. Maybe it’s the way she blends the ethereal with the essential. Or maybe it’s how she introduces objectivity to creativity. Or maybe it’s that she’s equally comfortable in Manhattan or Machu Picchu. The daughter of two entrepreneurs, they apparently sprinkled can-do philosophy on her breakfast cereal, because she makes things happen. Wherever she goes, there she is. Her mix of left and right brain skills led Aimee to adventures (okay, some might call them “jobs”) ranging from Broadway production companies to Martha Stewart Living. She rounded out her years in New York City as an academic advisor at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where she also coordinated special events, and as a certified yoga teacher. Luckily for us, Aimee is discerning but not discriminating. Whether she’s creating designs or creating spreadsheets, writing bids or writing copy, she gets it done.

  • Client Lead

    From working in the legal world to event production, Lisa consistently strives to be cerebral while staying inspired. During graduate school at the University of Southern California, she found this blend of the two when she wrote a federally-patented master’s thesis on the cannabis industry. Since then, she has worked with many cannabis brands from the inside out. But her desire for artistry and analytics does not stop there, her work also includes those in the automotive, entertainment and spirits industries while at Rogers & Cowan PMK.
