About Me

Photographer · Videographer · Digital Illustrator

I'm a Japanese-Filipino American creative from the Bay Area, California, where I'm based today. I previously lived in Tokyo, where I studied International Business and Economics through the Liberal Arts program at Sophia University.

I work across photography, video, digital illustration, and storytelling, drawn to projects rooted in purpose, sustainability, and heart. What fuels my passion most is learning about people's journeys. I believe every project carries a story worth telling, and I treat each one with care, curiosity, and attention to detail. Other people's passion inspires my own, and I aim to reflect that energy through the visuals I create.
