Product manager and founder — from personalization at HBO Max to startups, student communities, and the spaces in between.
01 The compass
Every product starts with curiosity. I've chased it through AR experiments at Snap, 50+ customer interviews to reimagine comics at Hearst, and personalization research at HBO Max — learning what people actually want before deciding what to build.
02 The craft
Ideas are cheap — shipping is the craft. I've co-founded BizLang, an AI language coach piloted with 50+ professionals, built Homie to bring people together over meals, and shipped recommendation work now reaching millions of HBO Max viewers.
03 The multiplier
Products are people. As President of ProductSC I rebuilt USC's product community around three original curricula, and through FEMO I paired 100+ international students with English-speaking mentors — because the best things I've built are rooms where people grow.
04 The point of it all
Discovery, building, and community only matter if they open doors. 50+ students placed into PM internships. Mentees speaking with new confidence. That's the product I care about most — and the reason for everything below.

Current focus
Taking an AI product from zero to one — talking to users, shipping weekly, and staying close to the problem of finding what's next.
Exploring how AI reshapes product craft — prototyping in Figma and code, and pressure-testing ideas from my AI Application & Product Design minor.
Mentoring the next class of ProductSC leaders and helping students land their first product roles.
About me
I'm a product builder from Japan, based in Los Angeles — a USC Marshall student in Business Administration with a minor in AI Application & Product Design.
My path has always been about connecting people, ideas, and communities: product internships at Snap, Hearst, and Warner Bros. Discovery; startups like BizLang and Homie; and communities like ProductSC and FEMO. The common thread is building experiences that bring people closer together — and closer to what's next for them.
Off the clock you'll find me rock climbing, hunting down LA's best coffee, or deep in a beatboxing session.
