Hello.
Born in Tokyo and raised in the United States, I have lived a diverse and multi-faceted life that has been driven by the desire to make the world a more beautiful place.
In 2013, I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Business Administration from Parsons The New School for Design and began to pursue a creative career in the fashion industry, working as an Art Director & Graphic Designer both at creative agencies as well as in-house.
In 2020, I graduated with a Master’s of Business Administration from New York University Stern School of Business specializing in Fashion & Luxury, and permanently relocated to Tokyo.
In 2021, I founded my own company and launched Contene, a luxury CBD skincare & wellness brand for the Japanese market. Following a change in the Japanese regulatory environment in 2025, I subsequently ceased operations.
