Glad you’re enjoying it so far! It was def tricky on how to approach the language barrier, but I pulled the trigger and suggested we just lean into it. It helps that James and I have known / worked with each other a long time so we love localizing challenges like these. Thanks for the love!

Friends! If you’ve contacted me recently about anything, please re-ping me! I’m noticing my email is being a bit selective with what comes through or goes to spam. #technology

BRB. Vomiting from sheer joy

Hard work. Patience. People Skills. Sure these have helped. But truth be told, I think I am where I am today because I minded my own business and didn’t treat every dissenting opinion or person as a reason to go to war.

Brb, screaming and crying

The weekeeeeeeend

Big thanks to everyone for your patience as we reschedule some things! Please don’t hesitate to ping me if we haven’t squared away plans recently!

I believe there is a strength in “playing nice” with other people, especially those you don’t care for. Not in that you hide your feelings, but build up empathy and tolerance while still maintaining what you value.

Team Opening! Studio Topaz is currently looking for a secondary admin to join our team! This role will involve client communication, class assisting, and payroll. If you are interested please send inquires to [email protected] ! 🚀

Hey Sk8ters! I had the privilege of helping with the Skate the Infinity OVA as ADR Director. We put as much care as possible into it with knowing how long you've all been waiting ❤️ 🛹 Please give the awesome cast and crew all the love for such a job well done. Lez-Go!

Good job, bud. We made it to the end of the week. 🫸🏻💥🫷🏻

With Season 2 of Shangri-La Frontier in the books I can't help but feel grateful to everyone who made showing up for this show awesome. Season 3 will be here soon, but for now, let's celebrate the crew that made it all possible! Congrats to the entire cast and crew!

Coming at you with some hot n’ fresh anime goodness. Really stoked to be working with this crew and help make the magic happen as ADR Director. Congrats to our cast and crew!

All pending reschedule emails will be sent out tonight! I’ll also be getting to any messages I’ve missed. Thanks so much for your patience!

Good News! We’re on the mend. I will need to adjust some immediate meetings but everything should be back on track by Wednesday. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding! #stayhealthy

The upside the being bedridden-ly sick? Catch up on books I haven’t had time to read and actually have time to digest emails. In between being unconscious ofc

Due to an ongoing illness, lessons for Sunday (04/13) and Monday (04/14) will be rescheduled to later dates. I apologize for the inconvenience! Would not recommend being this level of sick, for real. Students please be on the lookout for schedule updates!

Hey friends! I’ve been slowly getting over some post trip crud (on and off) we will be getting lesson reschedules all sorted out today once I’m functional! Thanks for your flexibility!
