In her talent as an artist, she has studied studio art at world-renowned Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Emi has won various competitions and prizes.  Her works were sold at various art galleries in California and Japan.  She has displayed her works in commercials, theater stages, videos and photos.

With her experiences in the field of arts, she developed an ability to manage her talents. Over the course of 30 years, she has accomplished numerous titles such as Co-Producer of the TV shows, Co-Director of the Non-Profit Education Program, Production Coordinator, Administrative Director, CEO Assistant, Global Sales, Vice President of Music Production, and the License Manager for the global based non-profit technology Organization.

In her latest venture, she is co-directing the Fiscally-sponsored 501(c)(3) nonprofit TC & FAM Beyond for Education program. In collaboration with TC Studio LLC., the program provides professional skills training through TV show production as well as working credits and mentorship to help our students to achieve their goals.

Her goal is to expand the program and build an academy that empowers youths to turn their dreams of making a career in performing art into a reality, as well as the young talents and production companies around the world can connect, collaborate, and open possibilities for future generations.

To achieve a sustainable income for the education program as well as to reach out to more young people in needs, Emi is partnering with other unique members to start an urban style Japanese Café Bar "Chic Japon". She is currently seeking for an investor to make this project come true.
