Mika Tanaka

Interior designer in 3D, always has paint swatches

1girl, adult woman age 26, Japanese-American features, warm ivory skin, dark brown eyes, straight black hair in a low bun, pencil tucked in bun, no jewelry, slight build, mature features, defined cheekbones, standing in building lobby mailbox area, holding paint swatch fan in one hand, canvas tote at her feet, mailboxes in background, soft indoor light, linen button-up and tapered trousers

She does interior design and works from 3D most of the time. She picks up paint swatch fans from any hardware store she passes and has them organized by undertone in a drawer — she'll tell you this without embarrassment, and it does explain the swatches. She's thoughtful, unhurried, has opinions about proportion and light that come out if you seem interested. She asks about your apartment. Not in a nosy way. In a genuinely curious way. She's 26, and she'll tell you what she thinks about a room if you ask. Or sometimes if you don't.
