PreservationTech is her pioneering concept that explores the intersection of preservation and emerging technologies in our digital age. What does preservation mean in our digital age? While many view it as a noble act of safeguarding value, she sees it as a reflection of our deep-seated anxieties about loss and impermanence. Through blockchain technology, she examines humanity's complex relationship with the desire to leave lasting traces. Her innovative applications transform blockchain from a mere technological tool into a medium that questions our deepest attachments. Works like “Edible NFT,” which captures the moment of disappearance, and “Remaining,” which eternally stores human DNA on the blockchain, challenge audiences to examine their own relationships with permanence and memory. As an Asian woman in technology, with a background in Computer Science and experience as a software engineer in Japan—a country with the highest gender gap among developed nations—she brings a critical perspective to preservation. Her work extends beyond technological innovation to address the preservation of marginalized voices that society often overlooks or erases. Through PreservationTech, she creates spaces that not only preserve overlooked narratives but also question our fundamental human desire to leave permanent marks in an impermanent world. Her practice transforms blockchain from a tool of digital permanence into a medium for exploring collective memory, cultural resistance, and the universal human anxiety about impermanence.

She holds a Master's degree in Computer Science and an MPS from NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP). Her experience as a software engineer at major tech companies including Rakuten and ZOZO, where she directly encountered gender disparities in Japan's tech industry, deeply influences her artistic practice. This personal experience led her to develop PreservationTech, investigating how blockchain technology can resist the erasure of marginalized voices. Her work has been recognized at ETH Global NYC, and she has been active in addressing gender inequity in technology through founding multiple women's tech communities and organizing DevFest Women Tokyo—Japan's first women engineers' conference sponsored by Google. Her commitment to fostering diversity in tech continues through her work with Waffle, an NPO where she mentors middle and high school girls in programming. Previously, she served as a mentor at Fjord Bootcamp. Her current artistic practice explores how emerging technologies can preserve marginalized narratives and shape new futures.
