I am a 2nd gen Japanese American filmmaker with roots in North Carolina and Tokyo.

追憶と兆しのあいだ

Storytelling is how I found space to create by preserving memory and observing what is coming into being. I am drawn to stories of queerness, communities reshaping social narratives, and the relationship between environment and identity.

I am a co-founder of video collective From Kudzu, and video producer for Wild Tame, and former photo and video journalist (The Washington Post, MLive),

Currently based in Tokyo, Japan.
