I'm a creative producer with over 20 years of experience delivering complex projects across brand content, publishing and artist collaborations, working with agencies, global brands and NGOs across Europe and Asia. Hands-on across production, design, video editing and motion graphics, I can take a project from concept through to delivery without needing to hand off execution. I run Studio Rarekind, a media production studio, and Soi Books, an independent publishing imprint — work that keeps me close to the tools as much as the strategy.
Fluent in English and Japanese.
