Grew up in Tokyo dreaming about my world beyond dealing with overly crowded commuter trains every day.
Discovered my love with a late-night Arizona burrito at Filiberto's and sipping horchata under the 105ºF/40ºC weather.
Prepped a portfolio for my art schools admission at a community college while my parents were thinking that I was applying for University Washington's Business School on the other side of the Pacific.
I spent most of my time in front of a poorly equipped MacBook running all things Adobe or drinking PBR out of red solo cups.
Didn't get accepted to any Summer internship in NYC, so I signed up for an interaction design summer school and went there anyway.
Tacos🌮, Music🎷, Bicycle🚴, Yoga🤸🏽♂️ and Cortado☕️.
"but... no, I am not a hipster."
London was so expensive; I learned how to negotiate at fried chicken shops to get extra drumsticks with loose changes in my pocket.
Admitting the fact that I might be a hipster. Moved back to 300 days of Sunshine.
If you're looking for me, skip the techno clubs and head straight to the sunny park. I'll be there, roller skating to my favorite Broadway musical tunes.
