AKIKO MUKAI
“There are only two ways to influence human behavior: you can manipulate it or you can inspire it."
Simon Sinek
Staging Services
"I've always believed in Akiko's artistic abilities. I manage long term rental properties and am often in need of staging services in preparation for a new tenant. Akiko has gone above and beyond to showcase the use of my spaces. I often find that she enhances the space by providing several usage options in her staged displays. I would highly recommend her to others looking to have their spaces staged. Your property will look beautiful and functional and she works highly efficiently!

"We found Akiko's communication to be excellent and she was very attentive to any communications we had with her - often times within minutes."

Freelance Graphic Design Review
"Akiko Mukai was one of the most creative and ambitious professionals I've had the pleasure of working with. Also, she's a great artist! During business school she had mentioned her background in art and I recall telling her that I'd reach out when the time came to start my own company. Here we are several years later and it was just as if we had spoken yesterday. First off, she got back to me right away. Second of all, I saw her initial renditions and was very pleased. She understood what I meant when I said I wanted an abstract lavender made with ribbons. Lastly, I feel confident about my company image with a design such as this. I believe Akiko Mukai will be a huge asset to any workplace and offer my most heartfelt recommendation."

Customer Service Guest Review
"Akiko was great from the very beginning! When I first messaged her with questions about our stay - she responded quickly and was thorough in answering all my questions and concerns. When we arrived, Akiko met us at the house to show us around. The rooms were very nice (beds were really comfy) and the house was clean and smelt great! Kitchen was stocked with all the basics and the backyard was very charming with the deck and red barn! The location was great, a quick 15-20 minutes to Zilker Park. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a place in the area! It was a perfect fit for our group!"

Freelance Design Consulting Review
"Over the time I worked with Akiko, I found her to be extremely meticulous in understanding the clients needs. Akiko's ability to assimilate into unfamiliar environments gives her the flexibility to work on varying projects. She has been outstanding at coming up with innovative strategies to allow us to explore new markets. I would highly recommend Akiko to anyone looking to recruit her in their team."

Freelance Digital Design Project Review
"Even though Akiko was still in school when I approached her for this project, she managed to uphold her commitment to me in a timely fashion. She is a very detail-orientated artist. She not only takes your idea, but also embraces it as her own and elevates it beyond your imagination. She is very easy to communicate with and is open to ideas, gives great feedback, and executes on time. I assure you the final product is well worth the wait. Once she gets a feel for the person and what she has to work on, she can not only bring your perspective to life, but her own perspectives as well and creates something altogether that is just "me" and what I want. I'm glad I got to work with her, and hopefully will do more projects in the future."

Freelance Hidden Peace Tattoo Design
"I saw the tattoo Akiko had designed for someone else and was stoked. I knew I'd hire her to design something for me when I came around to getting one for myself. I suffered from severe depression, anxiety and panic attacks and wanted her to design something that reminded me of the struggles that have made me a stronger, more resilient person today. She completely blew me out of the water with this design. I'm eternally grateful to her."
