I’m a Japanese American editor and motion designer based in Los Angeles with over 15 years of experience in the production industry. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across commercials, documentaries, live events, music videos, social campaigns, and feature films, helping clients turn ideas into engaging visual stories.

I love the creative process at every stage, whether I’m shaping a narrative from raw footage, building motion systems from design boards, or refining the final details that bring a piece to life. My approach is collaborative and hands-on, and I enjoy working closely with clients to solve problems, simplify the process, and create work that feels both intentional and emotionally engaging.

I’m proficient in a wide range of industry-standard tools and constantly exploring new techniques and technologies to push the work further while staying adaptable to each project’s needs.

Outside of work, I’m usually drinking an unreasonable amount of coffee, painting miniatures, or heading out on hikes around California with my wife.

I’m always excited to collaborate on new projects and help bring creative ideas to life.
