I am a writer living in London.

Previously based in Tokyo, I have written about Japanese society, literature and local history for national and international papers. I was awarded the Swadesh DeRoy prize for young journalists by the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan. I am currently writing my first novel.

I hold a Bachelor’s in English Language and Literature from the University of Oxford and a Masters of Arts and Sciences from the University of Tokyo. I have also worked in art, advertising and tech.
