Handmade art,
made to be lived with.
Paintings, embroidery, sashiko, and pieces paired with haiku — made slowly by hand in a small New York studio, for everyday life.

A life spent making, by hand.
Working from a studio in New York, I make paintings, embroidery, sashiko, and pieces paired with haiku. My aim is to carry traditional Japanese handwork into forms you can use and live with today — made slowly, one stitch and one stroke at a time.

in the white stitches,
a little light
My years on architectural design sites still shape how I work. Light and shadow, negative space and structure — an eye trained on space carries over to composition on cloth and paper.

Across design, interpretation, and coordination, I have worked on projects that span borders.
One Residential Project, United States
Joined the design team for a U.S. residence built by five collaborating architects, from design through construction. Rooted in Frank Lloyd Wright’s idea of integrating nature and architecture, the home drew in light through skylights and natural rock, with a Japanese garden planted to mature gracefully over time.
In the final phase, I worked between the U.S. and Korean architects brought on at the owner’s request, carrying the original design intent through revised ceiling heights, arches, and partitions into the final documentation.
Role More than an interpreter — a translator of design intent, helping integrate and refine the final architectural expression.
Office Renovation — Shoji-Inspired Glass Partitions
Designed a partition system using newly developed sandwich glass panels, reinterpreting the traditional Japanese shoji screen for a contemporary office — a system that lets light through softly.
Role From concept to panel design.
