[about me]
I believe that good work comes from a place of understanding and a real respect for the art itself. With nearly a decade of experience in the creative industry, I lead with a "forward" mindset; the belief that you never truly stop being a student. This connection to the process keeps me grounded;
it helps me support my team because I truly understand the work they do.
I love the creative field specifically because of the people. It is a privilege to work with such talented individuals and to be in a position where I can offer guidance or help someone find their way. There is always something new to learn, and I really enjoy being around those who can share a different perspective. To me, creativity doesn't have a ceiling, and I’m just glad to be part of a community that keeps pushing those boundaries.
hands on by nature.
Born in Sagamihara, Japan, my background provides a unique lens through which I view the world and my practice. As a visual artist and writer, I thrive on being hands-on. Whether I’m working on a design or writing poetry, essays, and prose, I’m driven by a curiosity about how people think and feel. This appreciation for the "craft" allows me to advocate for the soul of the work in everything I do.
I believe the world is limitless, and I am most at home when exploring the intricacies of life through words and art.
