My Story
I was born and raised in the vibrant city of San Diego. My parents came from different corners of the world, my father from Germany and my mother from Japan—and built a life together after meeting abroad. My mother, an artist at heart, deeply influenced my early interest in creativity and self-expression. From a young age, I immersed myself in drawing, painting, and making comic books, which naturally led me to pursue a degree in graphic design at San Diego State University.
​
After graduating, I began working as a junior graphic designer at Fresh Clean Threads, where I gained hands-on experience in branding and advertising. I was primarily responsible for all social media content and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) advertising design, helping shape the company’s digital presence and drive engagement. Working closely with the marketing team, I created cohesive visuals for campaigns that strengthened brand recognition and connected with our target audience. This role taught me how to blend creativity with strategy to produce compelling, performance-driven design across platforms.

I'm always excited to take on new creative challenges and continue growing as a designer with every project I take on.
