An Overview
As a self-initiated concept, this mobile app mockup was my chance to explore a refined, modern UI aesthetic—while blending design systems with storytelling. The project centered around an AI-powered travel assistant, but the heart of it was Mirai, the original vector mascot I created entirely by hand in Adobe Illustrator.
Designing Mirai wasn’t just fun—it was a challenge in precision and patience. Every fold of the kimono, every floral and circuit-inspired detail was crafted to feel both traditional and futuristic—a tribute to the harmony of culture and technology. This piece became a love letter to both vector art and the spirit of Japan.

The real question was: What should this feel like?
This was a personal vector art exercise that evolved into a silent love letter to Japanese tradition and speculative tech. Entirely hand-built in Adobe Illustrator, this robotic travel assistant was designed as both a UI mascot and an artistic exploration of identity, elegance, and futurism.
The kimono blends hand-drawn florals with custom geometric motifs—mimicking traditional fabric patterning while weaving in circuits and synthetic rhythms. It’s a design imagined not just for robots, but for robots with taste. If machines ever longed for beauty, this would be their wardrobe.
This piece also marked the start of a personal dream: a future collection of kimono-wearing androids—equal parts tribute and original vision.
Final Thoughts on Vector Art Exploration
For me, vector art has never been just about clean lines or scalable assets—it’s about storytelling through precision. Mastering Illustrator at a high level gave me the tools to not only express visual ideas with obsessive detail, but to build entire identities, moods, and interfaces from scratch.
Blending this craft with my UX experience has been a game-changer. It means I don’t just design interfaces—I shape worlds. Whether it’s a travel app mascot or a microinteraction icon, I bring the same care, creativity, and clarity to every layer.
These experiments remind me that great UI doesn’t always start with a wireframe—sometimes, it starts with a wild idea, a blank artboard, and the confidence to build something beautiful one vector shape at a time.
