My career didn’t follow a typical path. I started in the Japanese music scene as a director and found myself drawn to the visual side of the work. That curiosity led me back to school to study design, and from there I got working and learned through my daily experiences.

Japan has been home since the days of Illustrator 8.0. The people, culture, and language here have shaped how I think about creative work and collaboration, and over time I found myself working naturally between Japan and the West.

This podcast is simply a place to share a few stories from that journey, the moments and valuable lessons that shaped how I work today.
