I am a son, Japanese American, avid concert-goer, and language nerd (6.5 and counting). In my spare time, you can find me running around with a camera, trying new food, and scouring LA for the best cafe.

Professionally, I am a product designer focused on the intersectionality of technology, design, and language. To me, design has the ability to bring people from all backgrounds together through the power of technology. With my background in cultural advocacy and linguistics, I strive to design for accessibility and DEI.

Coming into college, I had my eyes set on SWE, however, after joining a creative services club, Innovative Design, and founding a startup in USC's premier incubator, LavaLab, my mind was opened to the world of design. Always a creative, product design was the perfect niche for me. Combining my experience in development with my passion for design, I'm excited to see what opportunities are up next!

I am currently a Junior at the University of Southern California studying Computational Linguistics with a minor in Business and minor in Designing for Digital Experiences and am seeking Product Design and Product Management Roles for Summer 2025 and Fall 2025.
