Trained as a product designer, I was the first American product designer at Sony in Japan. I am fluent in Japanese language and culture and I now interpret Japanese for executives in Silicon Valley, California.
I work with people who are the best in their respective fields and over the years, I have had the honor of working with Dr. Alan Kay. Click here to learn about the project called SQUEAK, a little more about my background, and about my work.
As you'll see from the link above, I just can't seem to get enough of Stanford University so I have graduated from Stanford a number of times with degrees in Business (MBA), Product Design Engineering (BS), Japanese (BA) and East Asian Studies (MA).
As an avid photographer, I strive to take good candid portraits of my clients and my friends as we travel and explore Japan, Silicon Valley and the Santa Cruz mountains, and, quite honestly, the world.
In my free time I garden roses, cook, and play with cats in California.
