Team

My journey with visual anthropology began while working in Tokyo as a lead photographer and filmmaker for Nike Japan, and continued through my years investigating youth and denim culture for Levi Strauss US. Since then, my projects have taken me on a global adventure, exploring street culture and urban inspiration in vibrant cities around the world. From the colorful chaos of Mumbai and Delhi to the innovative spirit of San Francisco, the dynamic Latino communities of Los Angeles and Chicago, and the artistic allure of Paris and more have also become my playground, fueling my passion for creativity and cultural exploration.
