Rino

Based on the Gold Coast, Queensland. (Yugambah Region)

My name is Rino Imamiya (pronounced re-no.) I am a proud
Japanese woman, born and raised on the Gold Coast, Australia and currently working full time as a model.

I love all things creative and in my spare time you’ll find me
writing, making clothes or making some form of art (drawing, painting, taking photos, working with clay, any art form I can get my hands on, really.)

Through modelling, I’ve been able to see myself on posters and billboards and I love and am so proud to have the opportunity to create a space for Asian girls who aren’t always represented in the industry—something I never saw growing up as a young girl here. It’s an honour to be part of an agency that gives everybody a chance to feel seen.
