Hi! My name is Melinda or Mel for short. I'm a Japanese-American from Southern California currently living in Nagoya, Japan.

I am obsessed with stationery and have accumulated many postcards that I hope to send to you all.

I love watching movies in the theater especially designing and doing my nails to match, sleeping in on rainy mornings, taking pictures to capture a feeling in a moment, seeing wind ripple the water surface as it comes towards me, and my cat Chicago who is back in Southern California with my mom.
