After earning my bachelor's in Digital Art + Design I followed my childhood dream and moved to Japan. There I used my talents and expertise to explore English and art education, marketing, and the modeling industry.

In Japan I brought eSports curriculum to Tokyo Coding Club along with my designs. I appeared on national broadcasters NHK and Nippon TV and in adverts for REGZA and Yahoo Japan among others. I got the next generation excited about graphic design in my international school classes.

Before arriving in Japan, I worked in marketing at Towson University where I singlehandedly designed volume 66 of Grub Street, Towson's literary magazine.

In my spare time I stream, traverse virtual reality, and advocate for positive social change. I have certification in kimono dressing and you may find me wearing them at Japan-related events. I returned to the United States in March 2022.
