Any question or information correction, please email me at: destiny@sakeozo.com		Scope: Artists and studios whose work is in visual, illustrative, cinematic, design, & other creative client-based fields.

About This List
This is my personal, carefully curated reference of Deaf creatives and studios that I follow, admire, or have taken note of over time. It’s intended to make it easier for me to share recommendations without having to search for names each time.

Everyone included here is an active, dedicated artist or studio with a consistent social media presence and a track record of producing work that shows long-term commitment, professionalism, and creative originality. This is not an open directory. The inclusion is selective and based on my own judgment.
