ABOUT
A graduate of Tama Art University, Saya Tsuruta has a signature worth looking for: almost every card she has illustrated hides a Poké Ball somewhere in the background. Once you know, it is difficult to stop checking.
Her first game credits were on Diamond and Pearl, and her first card was Lotad in Secret Wonders. She was graphic designer on HeartGold and SoulSilver, creating all of the location previews.
She has also designed Pokémon across several generations — Audino, Galvantula, Fletchling, Aromatisse, Goomy, Goodra and Indeedee are hers.
