The other day I made a patchwork pouch for my e-reader using various scrap fabrics that I've received from my time at dosa. I've really been enjoying reading and watching Polar Bear Cafe /「シロクマカフェ」as a way to immerse As I’ve been moving and settling in, I haven’t had as much time to be in my ceramics studio.

I have worked with Green Dragon Office designing graphics and publications since 2018 in various capacities; first as an intern; as a full-time designer from 2019–2022; and as part-time 2022 onward. I've had my hand in many books and projects since I started, though my primary focus is now on typography, typesetting, and production. Some books I've designed with Lorraine… read more →

Ever since I started making nerikomi I have mostly kept the pieces unglazed because a) I never felt like I had the right glaze for them, and b) I feel like the pattern comes through nicer on unglazed pieces. This comes at the cost of the pieces not feeling quite as nice in the hand, unless I do some… read more →

When I first moved to Los Angeles in 2019, a good friend of mine gifted me a box of Maldon Salt.

Sonoko and I first met at the end of 2024, when we held a pop-up and book launch for her at dosa along with my mentor and boss Christina. Not long after, she generously offered to help with a special dumpling party to celebrate 40 years of dosa. Somewhere in the middle of all our chopping, folding, and cooking, we… read more →

This is a belated post about my trip to Japan in the fall of 2025. For a long time, a ceramist friend of mine had been telling me amazing stories about her time in Mashiko, so when I finally booked my trip to Japan I knew it was a must visit for me.

It's 2026. And unbelievably, we're already almost halfway through March. I've been so busy with work that I've barely even had a chance to think about my goals for the year. But as I've been sitting here the past few days, hyper-focused on writing this website, I've been able to come up with a couple. - study Japanese a little… read more →

I'm happy to share that I've been working on a new version of my personal website that has an archive of my projects, blog of my process, as well as other random things. It's been a few years since I last updated it, and honestly, this is really more of a major overhaul than a regular update. As I've been… read more →
