After five intense years of running my successful million-dollar design agency, I hit a major roadblock. Burnout didn't just knock on my door—it barged right in and left me bedridden for three days straight. I didn't want to get up or face the world. Lying there, I thought to myself, "Okay, this is enough."

The next day, I made the tough decision to let go of all my employees. I knew I needed a break—a real one—to rethink my priorities and figure out what I truly wanted in life.

It felt like I slammed a giant reset button, letting out a big sigh that carried away years of stress and unspoken worries.

Growing up in France as a shy Asian kid in a mostly Western culture, I often felt like I didn't quite fit in. I was quiet and kept to myself. Design became my safe space—a way to express my creativity without having to say a word. But deep down, I was super ambitious, always juggling side projects and trying to "build something" meaningful.

That constant drive helped me achieve a lot, but it also led me straight into burnout.

As I lay there, I couldn't help but wonder: How does our mind work? How can I bounce back? How can I make sure this never happens again?
Those questions sparked an inward journey—a deep dive into understanding the mind and all its amazing potential. I realised that overcoming burnout wasn't just about resting; it was about transforming my mindset. I learned tools and techniques to not only help me get back but also be a better version of myself—stronger, wiser, and happier.

I believe everyone deserves to know how to utilise their mind to its fullest.
If you are like me, you want to be YOUR best self.
You want to unlock a new level of effectiveness and fulfilment.
You want to feel motivated and excited every day.
You want to feel confident and smart.
You want to prioritise what matters, manage your emotions like a boss, and build habits that support your professional and personal growth.

Join me in this journey.

This is the reason I created The Effective Mindset, a community-based hub where we share science-based resources, techniques, and habits for being our most effective selves.

We all deserve to be at our peak and to live without regrets. Because we all deserve to thrive, not just survive.

I founded Sazae in 2015 after identifying a gap in the IT market for an agency specialising in serving Japanese businesses based in Australia. With a background in web and Mobile App development, I have amassed a wealth of consultation experience through corporate engagements and innovative projects across Japan and Australia.

As an entrepreneur, I am passionate about evaluating different business models, understanding a company's IT infrastructure, and designing the best technology solutions to help them achieve their business goals.

When I first arrived in Australia, I noticed a lack of support for Japanese IT professionals. To address this, I founded JAIT, a networking event now active in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Tokyo. The event serves as a platform for Japanese and Australian professionals to exchange ideas and learn from each other's cultures. Under my leadership, the community has grown to over 1,200 members since its inception in 2009.
