I Upcycle unused materiel to create “beach boutique” style clothes, bags, hats and accessories. All hand-made creations and are Earth friendly and it’s my passion. I do online sales but mostly event and pop-up style sales. I create customer relationships and customized orders. I run my website and social medias, as well as mobile advertisement.

Authentic high end Japanese Restaurant located in Venice Beach California. I did all front of house positions. Training and making the schedule was my responsibility. I had large sections and provided excellent service. Traditional sushi and izakaya is my culture and I’m extremely knowledgeable.

Head server at high end Izakaya style Japanese Resteraunt. Greeted customers and took care of To-Go orders, trained new staff, and created menu items. Helped customers with language barrier (fully Japanese staff) and explained our menu.

I started working here when I was high school as a part time job. Over time I worked my way up in the company. Our factory was located in Bali. I would do monthly trips to visit the factory and pick from our inventory to bring back. Then I would design the product and sell at our location in Japan. I learned from professionals how to sew and design. It was an amazing opportunity and it changed my life forever.
