Where sketches turn to substance

Hey, it's Joji Araki, a CS and Fintech student @ Northeastern.
Feel free to explore my creative works as well as projects.

About Me ✧



Dabbling in many passions, you'll find me: painting (preferably oil), surfing, designing, practicing guitar, investing, and taking on Earth.

My goal is to either work in the financial sector and or startup a business. Come talk to me in Japanese or basic French!
