THIS IS MY STORY
Artist. Educator. Performer. Storyteller.
I work at the intersection of performance, visual storytelling, and arts education, bringing together music, voice, drawing, and cross-cultural media into one creative practice.
My artistic journey began at age five as a studio recording artist with Columbia Music Entertainment Japan. Since then, I have performed on numerous albums and singles, including music featured in film, and appeared as a bilingual host and singer on the nationally recognized children’s television program Shimajiro. Those early experiences shaped my lifelong commitment to child-centered storytelling and global creative exchange.
For over a decade, I have worked as a bilingual theater performer, voice-over artist for video games and animation, and composer. My projects include award-winning music videos that raise awareness about endangered species, especially elephants, whose intelligence and emotional depth continue to inspire my work.
Alongside my artistic practice, I am deeply dedicated to education. I serve as Senior Lecturer at Otis College of Art and Design and teach humanities at Stanford Online High School. My teaching centers on helping students truly see, developing structural clarity, perceptual awareness, and confidence through disciplined observation. I am also a published specialist in art education for young learners.
Whether on stage, in the studio, or in the classroom, I believe creativity shapes how we understand and move through the world, with clarity, empathy, and courage. [Click here for my extended Bio..]
