Raised in Honolulu, sharing a desk in Seattle with too many cats and a shoyu fish lamp.

Working on a master’s in gastronomy. Especially interested in the chocolate and coffee industries and how both operate in Hawaii. Lover of context, connecting food trends with greater cultural moments and shifts. Always on the lookout for changes in the visual design of food packaging.

This website is a growing repository of some of my shorter writings, published and unpublished, academic and not, to demonstrate what I can do.
