About Soh Tanaka

Personal Summary

Remember those kids in school who used to doodle during class? Or the kids who'd build skyscrapers out of Legos? They were driven by the irresistible power of the imagination to create something that the world has never seen before.

Well, if you've ever wondered what became of them… look no further. A seemingly endless imagination, the creative vision to dream up unique designs that are fresh and original, as well as the technical know-how to make them happen, are what set me apart from all those same old, cookie-cutter designs you see all over the web.

 I offer my clients the cleanest, most cutting-edge graphic designs and websites in the industry. I strive to make the entire design process exciting, enjoyable, and fun for my clients. And, who better to guide you through that design process than that creative kid who grew up…
whose imagination keeps growing as well?

Work Experience Details

May, 1999 - PresentChiaraGraphics

As a passionate artist, Graphic Designer, & Web Developer seasoned in working in the fast-paced, ever-changing web environment, I take pride in creating the Boston area's most visually pleasing, and distinctly memorable websites & graphic design projects.

Over the past ten years or so, through ChiaraGraphics my 'personal' site, and Hideca my 'work' site, I've had the pleasure to work on hundreds of amazing Web Design & Graphic Design projects with many amazingly satisfied clients, locally and internationally.

My skills include HTML, XHTML, CSS, Javascript, and Flash languages, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), the most cutting edge Graphic Design software, as well as classical Art and Illustration techniques.

Jan, 2006 - PresentHideca Design

Well, now that you've found this site, you've probably clicked around a bit to see what Hideca has to offer. You can read all about what I do, what software and coding languages I'm skilled at, and you can even see some examples of websites and design projects I've produced.

But, what you can't see here is far more important… sticking to any deadline I'm given, the ability to work within any and all budgets, the behind-the-scenes coding that gets websites found, the perfectionist detail that goes into every single pixel, and most importantly, the ecstatic faces of my clients when they see their dreams come to life.
