Midwest Mirai Key Visuals 2026

In 2026, I was selected to be the outfit designer and Key Visual artist for Hatsune Miku for the event known as Midwest Mirai.The themes we were given were Halloween and Yokai (a class of supernatural spirits, entities, and monsters in Japanese folklore). As such, I began research into different Yokai that would fit Miku and the theme of the event this year. I chose a Karasu (Crow) Tengu, a Tengu being a fairly well known creature in Japanese folklore. I first designed the outfit for her, and then did a concept sketch before beginning the final piece for the Key Visuals.

In the beginning of 2025, I identified the need for a unified Indigenous space within the Vtuber community.I asked 4 of my colleagues if they would join me (Batty, Quirky, Nascha, & Night) and together we co-founded the Native Vtuber Network (NTVTN).Since then we have been working hard to create a space for and promote our member's creative endeavors, as well as embark on projects of our own including a weekend long Raid Train.Our purpose and mission is to facilitate a space for encouragement, support, and uplifting other Indigenous Vtubers as well as see our members promote Indigenous traditions and cultural values through every type of media they choose to create.I am currently our Social Media Manager & Art Director.

To me, photography is the closest thing we have to experiencing the way other people see the world.Much of my photography has a dreamy 'nostalgic for something you forgot' quality to it. I suffer from severe depersonalization/derealization and many of my days feel like distant dreams. Even the good memories.I want the way I capture the world through the lens to reflect that feeling.
