Time on the line in Michelin-starred dining and at The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo — where plating, timing, and anticipating a guest's needs became a craft I still design by.

Previously worked across Michelin-starred dining, The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo, and hospitality, where I learned the power of anticipating customer needs before they are spoken.
