７７年７月生まれ。東京出身。ハワイ在住。二児の母。
独身時代、日本航空の客室乗務員として世界の空を飛び回る。２００３年、結婚を機にハワイに移住し、その後二児を授かるもリゾート地での生活に馴染めず暫く低迷期が続く。子供の成長と共に、子供の衣類を全て手作りしていた事がきっかけとなり、無い物は自ら創作し、ファッションを愉しむ事で日々の暮らしが豊かになっていく事を実感する。その頃から、その人の個性を引き立てるようなデザインを考案しオーダーメイドで洋服や小物を作るようになる。
現在は、昔から好きなブラックアイテムでまとめた都会的なスタイルを基盤に、ハワイらしさも兼ね備えた、自分なりの都会とリゾートのバランスの取れたスタイルを確立し、'Ele'Ele Collectionを立ち上げる。
Born July, 1977. Tokyo. Living in Hawaii. Mother of two.
In my single days, I flew the world as a flight attendant at Japan Airlines. I sought to find my very own fashion style by drawing on the inspiration I got from the people I met. In 2003 I got married and moved to Hawaii. I was blessed with two children. It was around that time that I started to focus on making made to order styles that accentuated the individuality of the client. but had a difficult time adapting to life in the islands. I found happiness in hand making clothes and accessories for my children. Enjoying fashion every day is what enriches my life in Hawaii. Currently, I am focusing on a collection of styles centered around modern black items that convey the spirit of Hawaii. I seek to establish a personal balance between urban and resort themes.
