Born in Orange (yes, it’s a real city). Raised in Tokyo and the Bay Area. Lived and learned in Michigan. Now back in SF.

I’m always exploring what turns my gears. My mantra is: no fluff — just the good stuff. I also believe all good things take time, including the art of storytelling. That’s why I’m continually working to perfect the craft of telling damn good stories (and I like to think I’m getting closer).

Off the page, I’m collecting firsts: I’m a cheesemonger-in-training, jiujitsu newbie, and working on my first EP.

My inbox is always open: for freelance inquiries, a quick chat, or trading cheese recs (check out my current favorite by andante diary)!
