About Me

My path started in education, which made me lead with the learner, not the content. That foundation shapes everything: experiences that don't just inform, but shift how people think, work, and grow.

As an Educator...

I have had three years of classroom experience, which has taught me to understand my learners first. I believe learning should be designed with empathy and purpose.

As a Designer...

I recently completed my Master’s degree in Learning Technology and Experience Design at NYU, where I focused on creating learner-centered experiences for middle school teachers, job seekers, SEL specialists, and most recently, higher education faculty.

My aim goes beyond simply developing courses. I collaborate with stakeholders to define clear, measurable goals and explore creative solutions that best serve learners' needs. I embrace feedback and iteration as essential parts of the design process. 

Outside of Designing Learning...

🌏 I grew up in Japan and have a lifelong love for languages
🎸 I play electric guitar and enjoy all things music
🏓 I love a good ping-pong match
🍜 I am always on the hunt for new food to try
