But who am I, really?

I'm a Japanese American Executive Game Producer and Principle Creative with specializations in Narrative, Game Design, Accessibility, and Immersive Technology. Most recently, I was a Principal Creative for an unannounced AAA video game. I'm a skilled executive game producer who loves creating badass, award-winning video games. Outside of work, I draw. A lot. I drew everything here and don't use AI with my art. I also game constantly.

Previous to my current role, I was a Oculus Studios Executive Producer on Meta's original VR game Asgard's Wrath 2 with Sanzaru Games, the largest ever homegrown Meta gaming experience which earned a 10 out of 10 perfect score on IGN, a DICE award, and over 30 industry awards for excellence. I also produced Resident Evil 4 for VR with Oculus Studios alongside Armature Studio and Capcom. RE4 won VR Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2021, an honors at the New York Game Awards and SXSW 2022. To build community, She was also the cofounder of the Pride@Reality Labs group at Meta, a Meta Accessibility Champion, and the author of the Meta VR Accessibility developer documentation and technical requirements.
