11 is my lucky number. I was born in November. I study at 1111 South Arroyo Parkway. I have 11 cats, and I catch 11:11 more often than I can count.

​

But I don’t rely on luck.

​

I was fortunate to grow up in Japan and be educated in an international environment that exposed me to diverse cultures and perspectives early on. While many classmates dreaded studying propaganda or analyzing advertisements, I was energized by it. I became fascinated by how ideas shape perception, how strategy drives behavior, and how brands build influence.

​

That curiosity became discipline.

​

Now, as a Junior at ArtCenter, I’m driven to lead and work with a team of creatives, create work that is both intentional and impactful. 

​

If I’m fortunate, it won’t be because of a number. It will be because I did the work.
 

I aim to make my work the lucky 11.
