The Ripples of Unfiltered Joy
About Joy
Solving problems is easy, effective, and ethical when you take them (and the humans involved) out of the paradigm they were created in.
Seeing all the angles of the cause and effect of mindset, patterns, and behaviors from a broader, deeper, and higher perspective helps achieve the purpose of business:
Humans helping other humans stay human.
Build an operational framework that streamlines its growth with intention.

Founder | Solutions and Mindset Strategist | Speaker
For 34 years in Corporate America, I optimized ways to solve pervasive, sticky problems that people avoided…without compromising my integrity.
It was the perfect environment for my personal journey while changing paradigms that entrapped my colleagues in helplessness, inefficiency, and overworking.
This was helpful when working in operations, marketing, regulatory compliance as a project lead, business case developer, consultant, and systems analyst…
…even as an Asian American woman in mature industries (global finance, investment management) led by those who were whitewashed.
This was seeded by my mom who told me I’d never use my race, gender, or age to advance but instead, my merit.
She knew that the normal external identifiers could be used as a hammer as well as differentiator as a west coast Japanese American interned during WWII.
It’s been my journey to figure out how to do just that.
Blending corporate acumen with smart actions resulted in delivering innovative solutions + unwinding the social engineering that caused the problematic mindset patterns regardless of sector or industry.
That allowed me to walk through corporate silos, walls and layers to ask better questions, see problems that others couldn’t and see markers and value points that evolved into best practices.
I learned to use my big voice, big ideas, and big energy effectively to solve for the current state that built space for the future so others could see themselves within and buy-into the solution.
By the time I left the corporate space, it took 6 teams to replace what I did because I had mastered how to pull the right levers that produced the biggest results for the present and build frameworks for the future.
Since 2018, I now discover value by working with business owners to expand their mindset and perspective for sustainable, rapid growth.
This form of operational fluency includes:
leveraging ambiguity after giving the full context of what’s happening and why in business models.
scaling without losing their mission, soul or minds through how to implement integrative capability frameworks and processes that address risk and expense issues before they happen.
preparing founders for a larger ripple of influence through the big picture paradigm shifts their businesses are creating.
And, my goal remains the same now as it did back in corporate:
Be so good at what I do that I work myself out of a job after everyone in the world lives in their unfiltered joy.
I’m a wife, dog mom, native Californian, emerging ethnobotanist, and EveryDayWands maker.
