ABOUT ME

I design with one purpose: to make life feel lighter

Every piece I create is meant to simplify your day, seamlessly blending form and function with understated elegance.

Before launching POND, I spent over a decade as a designer for global fashion houses, frequently traveling across continents and navigating the fast-paced rhythm of corporate life.

In 2016, somewhere between Tokyo and Hong Kong at 35,000 feet, the idea for POND was born—a vision for a bag that could carry you through work, travel, and everything in between. More than an accessory, I wanted to create a trusted companion—one that supports your lifestyle without ever slowing you down.

MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

DESIGNED WITH INTENTION

I began my career in fashion in 2006 as a denim designer, working with some of the industry's most iconic brands—places where precision, fit, and craftsmanship weren’t just expected, they were non-negotiable. It was there that I developed a deep appreciation for designing pieces that are both beautiful and built to last.

Like denim, I believe a great design should move with you. That philosophy inspired me to create handbags that are as functional as they are refined—pieces that support real life without sacrificing style.

My work has taken me from Los Angeles to New York, Shanghai to Tokyo, shaping not only my aesthetic but my values: purposeful design, global perspective, and an unwavering commitment to quality.Each piece is made to move with you, keep you organized, and free you to focus on what really matters.

MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

DESIGNED WITH INTENTION

Everything I create begins with a 100% original hand-sketched design. I often spend months—sometimes up to a year—designing, testing, and refining every detail until it feels just right.

I produce in small, handmade batches to ensure each piece stays true to my original vision. It’s my way of protecting both the integrity of the design and the quality you deserve.

I’m deeply committed to offering ethically made, beautifully crafted essentials—blending thoughtful design with expert craftsmanship and precision. Each piece is made to move with you, keep you organized, and free you to focus on what really matters.

Where Purpose Took Shape

This began as a quiet, personal pursuit—a designer’s need to create with intention, clarity, and purpose. After spending nearly two decades honing my craft in the fashion industry, I came to value the discipline of designing slowly and precisely. Every line drawn, every material chosen, is part of a deliberate process to create something that holds meaning beyond trend or season.

From the early Kickstarter days to now, the vision has remained uncompromised. I produce in small, considered runs, guided by the principles of slow fashion and quiet refinement—designing for those who understand that true luxury lies in the details.
