About Masa Uehara Design

After working at a topnotch design studio, Masa went on to spend over ten years in the marketing department of a major corporation in Sacramento. During this period, she expanded her skills to multimedia and website technology and started a freelance business out of her home in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Since then, she has quit the Sacramento commute and now devotes herself full-time to her own business outside Nevada City.

She feels fortunate to have received traditional training and a solid foundation in design principles at Chico State. This classic training, combined with her native grounding in the Japanese esthetic, gives her work its distinctive style.

More recently, she enjoys collaborating with people in small business and individuals launching, redesigning, and updating their websites. She has been engaged in the community as a founding member of North Columbia Schoolhouse Cultural Center and a Zen center, Ring Of Bone Zendo.

She also does her community services through Sierra Storytelling Festival, North San Juan Fire Diestrict, and Food Bank of Nevada County. One of her favorite places to be in Nevada County is BriarPatch Coop, for whom she created the website and did a major graphic design work from the brochures and the business system to numerous store signs. She is active in the Gold Country chapter of LeTip International.
