Building
brands with
multi-sensory creative.
Originally from Tokyo.
My work has taken me from Sydney to Singapore and San Francisco. I am currently based in Brooklyn, New York.
I'm an award winning Creative Leader, Brand Strategist and Multi-Sensory Design Specialist with over 20 years of leadership experience spanning the various worlds of Advertising, Product Design and B2B & B2C Marketing & Strategy.
In 2019 I co-founded Studio Resonate - a 50+ strong creative team of copywriters, designers, audio producers and developers that produce innovative digital advertising for some of the biggest brands on the planet. Studio Resonate is part of the SiriusXM/Pandor/Stitcher group, the largest audio entertainment powerhouse in the world.
My personal mission is to craft holistic experiences that goes beyond “experience” and "usability" to creates lasting relationships by moving hearts and minds between brands and their audiences.
This approach has given me the opportunity to guide a number of global brands in the digital space - creating apps, campaigns, websites and content for brands such as Honda, Audi, Hyundai, Land Rover, Uber, PepsiCo, FritoLay, SalesForce, McDonalds, Pandora, SiriusXM, Unilever, Cadbury, Douwe Egberts, Sara Lee, Schick & Luxottica OPSM.
I'm currently serving as Advisor to the Oasis Consortium, the global consensus on brand safety standards. Previously I've also served as advisor to a number of startups including OpenWeb, AirService and AirTasker.
In my previous role as Executive Creative Director for the SiriusXM/ Pandora / Stitcher group, my team and I helped Pandora drive over a half billion in advertising revenue in 2021.
I'm currently the VP of Brand & Creative at OpenWeb where we aim to make the web a better place by improving the quality of online conversations.
