JaDazia is a character designer and concept artist from Chesapeake, Virginia who is now based in Tokyo, Japan! Dazia has a deep love for animation, video games, comics, and character design. Her art focuses on whimsical and vibrant characters with extraordinary hair and she thoroughly enjoys carefully making detailed depictions of Black hairstyles; as she did not see many characters with hair like her own in media she engaged with as a kid. Recently, she was selected to have her comic art displayed at the SOMSOC Gallery for the 2025 Creasidence Comic Zine Exhibition in Harajuku alongside 19 other artists. Her goals as an artist are to continue working in the gaming/animation industry to help uplift people of diverse cultures with her work and increase the amount of representation on screen.
