I am based in New York, but you’ll also find me hiking through forests in Washington D.C.
I grew up in Taipei, Taiwan, living in Oregon, Washington state and Texas before landing in Southeast Asia. When I’m not working I am probably making a video, watching the latest Bulls game or making some sort of list.
In case you were wondering, I am Black, White and Japanese! :) I grew up not meeting a lot of beauty standards that are programmed into us, and though the fashion and beauty industry has come a long way since I was a kid, we still have places to go.
My mission is to make fashion accessible to people who get dressed every day but somehow do not think fashion is for them. I firmly believe you don’t need to lose weight to get that top, and you don’t need to be “this tall” to ride the fashion ride. I am here to help you curate a closet that honors the most authentic you.

I was the Assistant Fashion Editor at The Wall Street Journal, where I collaborated with brands including Adidas, Mejuri, Bottega Veneta and Prada.
Fashion Styling
It is so easy to tell ourselves we will get our dream wardrobe once we make this amount of money or have that body (I know I’ve told myself that a dozen or more times). Screw that! Let’s shake up this mindset, because there’s no reason to wait to feel good in what you wear. Continue scrolling to see my styling services.
Editing & Writing
As a fashion editor for The Wall Street Journal’s weekend features section “Off Duty,” I pitched, researched and wrote short features on style and fashion trends. I created fashion market lineups featuring brands including Tory Burch, Ashya, J.Crew, Alex Mill, Brunello Cucinelli and Officine Générale, among others. See some of my work with WSJ on the work samples tab.
