About

Elisa Tarifa Amo, with roots in both Bolivia and Japan, originally hails from Santa Cruz, Bolivia.

​

Her journey into the world of creativity commenced at the age of 9, driven by a simple yet powerful dream: to become a fashion designer.

​

After graduating from high school, Elisa embarked on a transformative journey to Japan, her second homeland, courtesy of the Nippon Foundation Nikkei Scholarship "Dream Come True Project."

This scholarship opportunity enabled her to immerse herself in the rich cultural tapestry of Japan while pursuing her studies at Bunka Fashion College, celebrated as Asia's premier fashion design university.

Following the completion of her education, Elisa delved into the world of fashion, initially with a trading company and later as a brand representative in the wholesale industry.

​

Today, as a freelance artist and designer, her creations serve as heartfelt reflections of her multicultural identity. Her illustrations are an evocative exploration of emotions through vibrant hues, while her clothing designs seamlessly integrate her passion for movement, echoing her love for dance and rhythm.

Through her website, Elisa warmly invites visitors to experience the enchanting fusion of Bolivian and Japanese cultures woven into her art. Each piece she creates is imbued with passion, love, and a profound appreciation for the beauty of diversity.
