How discovered:
I contacted the agency to apply to be a model.

Best modeling experience so far?
Each job feels special because modeling is not something you can do forever. I don’t really receive positive feedback in Japan about how I look so it gave me a lot of confidence to be able to participate in shows overseas.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I’ve always been into drawing.

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
Many of the artists I love are in Europe so I’d love to see their works in person and engage in creative activities in those countries.

How do you want to make an impact in the world?
I’m not a model who has done a lot of work in Japan, so I’d be most happy if people could see me and think that there is potential for anyone who has confidence and passion for themselves. I’m sure I will make mistakes here and there, but I hope I can always keep challenging myself with love.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Don’t think, feel.
