I am a second-generation Japanese American artist and designer based in Seattle, specializing in murals, live doodle portraits, and illustration. My freelance work includes murals, lighting installation, traffic signal box design, live painting, editorial illustration, tattoo designs, community zines, and branded merchandise, with work featured in local exhibitions and community spaces. Through bold, colorful compositions, I create work that sparks joy, curiosity, and connection while inviting viewers to see the world with a little more whimsy!

Inspired by my cultural heritage, nature, and community, my work often explores themes of place and belonging. I enjoy creating opportunities for participation whenever possible, making art more approachable and shaped by the people and places it engages with.

Beyond my main art practice, I explore community, sustainability, reuse, and slow craft through Happitat. I also co-founded and help organize markets for Seattle Rise Collective, supporting women and gender-expansive creatives and small businesses.
