MY STORY, MY JOURNEY

I started hand-making accessories and jewelry in 2005 in Tokyo as a university student at Musashino Art University. At the time most pieces were custom designs for friends and family weddings.

After graduating and working for Japanese jewelry company in Tokyo I moved to Vancouver, Canada. There I graduated from Gastown Business College and soon after worked at Blushing Boutique, a Vancouver-based boutique / design studio.

While living in Vancouver my first notable project took place thanks to a conversation with Shelley Klassen – a prolific Vancouver fashion designer and the owner of Blushing Boutique. She would later become a dear friend, boss, and mentor to me.

Shelley asked me to design jewelry for one of her fashion shows. With great excitement I poured my heart into creating pieces for the show. The production was a tremendous success and the jewelry was noted by a number of people, which created the opportunity to sell my pieces. Blushing Boutique was gracious enough to back the idea by creating a showcase in the store. Ever since, I have continued creating and selling jewelry at Blushing Boutique and other stores in Tokyo. I’ll always be grateful to Shelley and everyone for providing this opportunity.
