WHO AM I?

I pride myself on being a third-generation Japanese American granddaughter of farmers, small business owners, and artist immigrants. Raised by the Japanese American community in SoCal, I have a strong love for community building and culture.

I graduated from UC San Diego with a B.A. in Speculative Design and double minors in UI/UX Design and Studio Fine Arts. I’m currently working full-time as a Designer for American Honda Motor Company and part-time as a freelance artist under the name StudioxSando.

On the weekends, you can find me trying new recipes, doodling, or volunteering in the Nikkei community.
