Los Angeles–based photographer, director and multidisciplinary artist, and 20+ year industry veteran creating imagery at the intersection of documentary, commercial, and fine art. A second-generation Angeleno and fourth-generation Japanese American, her practice navigates the intersections of art, politics, and community care.

Her practice spans commercial campaigns, editorial commissions, film, and collaborative design. She has partnered with global brands and cultural institutions including Apple, Cadillac, Google, IBM, Jaguar, Jimmy Choo, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Microsoft, Netflix, Nike, Samsung, Sephora, Sonos, Sony, Target, Vans, Vogue, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, and Xbox. Long-term collaborations include visual creative direction for chef Niki Nakayama of the Michelin-starred n/naka, as well as the fine art book You and I See Why(Hesse Press) and the furniture collective Mano Ya.

She is currently working on her first feature-length documentary about The Atomic Cafe, her family's legendary Little Tokyo restaurant and a landmark of Los Angeles' punk scene, exploring the intersections of archive, memory, and lived experience.

Beyond her creative practice, Zen is organizes to support mutual aid, housing justice, and neighborhood preservation.
