Hi! I'm a VR developer and visual artist based in Tokyo. I work as a freelance contractor on XR and interactive multimedia projects.

Have a look at my CV and get in touch to hire me! For updates and behind the scenes information on my personal and contract projects, check out my blog.

I'm currently working on a personal VR project called Celestial Reactors. You can add it to your Steam wishlist if you want!
