I’m a trilingual business developer in Tokyo specialising in promoting Japanese manufacturing and craft globally through innovative collaborations & creative business strategies.
Through my independent consulting practice, I’ve worked with clients such as maekake maker Anything, creative studio KiQ, and real estate agency Makigumi.
Currently, I’m the Business Development Manager at boutique consultancy Culture Generation Japan and the Global Business Director at Kobe-based design studio TRUNK DESIGN.
Previously, I worked at Japanese furniture label Ishinomaki Laboratory and Asia’s largest designer marketplace Pinkoi, connecting great design & physical products around the world with Japan.
I’m also the co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of sankaku, an independent publication focused on craft, community, and culture in Japan.
