Hi! I'm Maki. My name means "True" and "Hope" in Japanese.

"True to my name (literally!), I’m all about keeping it real while chasing bold ideas.

I’m that girl who nerds out over authentic storytelling and brands with soul. Think of me as your guide for turning "meh" into "whoa"—whether it’s sharpening a brand’s voice or designing visuals that actually mean something.

Hope? That’s my secret sauce. I’m the eternal optimist who believes even the simplest idea can spark magic. I thrive on rallying teams around that spark—mixing strategy, storytelling, and a dash of fearless creativity to build brands people want to hug (or at least give it a follow). My vibe? Imagine a brainstorming session where everyone’s ideas matter, where we laugh at the weird concepts, and where "good enough" isn’t in the vocabulary. I’m here to make work that feels human, hopeful, and a little bit unforgettable." 😉
