The industry doesn’t have a talent problem.
It has a signal problem.
I’ve spent my career finding creators who are almost there...and getting them the rest of the way.
Not by chasing trends.
Not by waiting for permission.
By understanding what makes a story work, and building publishing lines that connect with readers.
What I Do
Editorial Development
I work with writers and artists to shape stories from pitch to final page. Structure, pacing, character, and clarity.
Imprint Building
At Nakama Press (Mad Cave Studios), I help build a global publishing line focused on manga, manhua, and creator-driven storytelling.
Talent Development
I identify creators with potential and help them level up into professionals who can actually deliver.
