Monique (Mo) Narboneta Zosa is an award-winning Los Angeles native graphic designer.

With over a decade of industry experience in design, Mo’s first big break into the publishing industry was via the world of comics with DC Comics. As a graphic designer and assistant art director, she designed books for the world’s greatest super heroes, super villains, and fans. She then took her experiences in Gotham and Metropolis to Insight Editions, expanding her publication design portfolio to the entire entertainment industry, now covering various high-profile movies, TV shows, and video game IP.

She’s currently based in Tokyo continuing her adventures as a freelancer, teaming up with her clients in the publishing industry.

In 2022, Mo debuted as a professional illustrator, after many years of hobby illustration, with her first credited book Oisishou!! The Ultimate Anime Dessert Cookbook. This gave her the opportunity to combine her love of anime, design, and illustration into one delicious publication. Her illustrations could also be seen in Insight Edition’s Street Fighter: The Official Street Food Cookbook, Naruto: The Unofficial Cookbook, and DC Comics’ Harley’s Little Black Book.

Mo runs Tamadachi Studios, a design consultancy specialized in offering world-class design services for books, graphic novels, and web comics with an expansive breadth of work in the entertainment space. These services include but are not limited to cover designs, interior layout design, production & editorial assistance, and comic book lettering & sequential design.
