Why Women?

I was born with a zest for life and very little fear. That spirit carried me across the world—building a career that spanned fashion, art, and venture capital—immersing me in cultures, ideas, and creativity that expanded my sense of what’s possible. But eventually, I learned that zest alone isn’t enough.

Fifteen years ago, everything changed when my father suffered a traumatic brain injury. I returned to Seattle from my life in Tokyo to support my family. Overnight, the world I’d built—my career, my identity, my future—shifted. I found myself standing at the intersection of loss and reinvention, asking, What now?

In that moment, I realized that the skills I had honed—seeing patterns, translating complexity into clarity, building bridges across worlds—were exactly what people need in times of change. That realization led me to become a financial advisor.

As I grew in this work, I began noticing a common theme among the women I served. Many were accomplished and affluent, yet navigating profound life transitions—retirement, divorce, inheritance, or loss—with uncertainty. They had abundant resources but often lacked confidence that their money could truly support their dreams.

When we began to talk—really talk—about their lives, their hopes, and what fulfillment meant to them, something shifted. The numbers came alive with purpose. Their faces lit up. I saw a spark that reminded me why I began again.

That’s how I found my true purpose: creating a safe, compassionate space where women can explore, learn, and align their wealth with what matters most. My mission is to help women use their money as a tool for freedom—to live more abundantly, more confidently, and more intentionally, knowing their financial life supports the life they truly want to live.
