Originally from Chicago, I worked in graphic design at Pepsi before going into magazine design at a publisher in Tokyo. From there I got into CG and finally found my passion in production as a producer/line producer. I've seen first hand the deficiencies in production in the West and Asia and I'm hoping that as I gain more influence and responsibility I can use it to create productions that are equitable, safe, fun and responsible with stories that create opportunities in front of and behind the camera for people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and other backgrounds.
My passion is Science-fiction/Science-fiction Horror and I'd love to produce in Japan and the US.
After 14 years in Japan I've moved to LA and I'm currently a University of Southern California Peter Stark Producing Program MFA student, graduating Spring 2024.
Unique traits: Fluent in Japanese and conversational in Spanish and French.
