About Jordan

Jordan Nakamura is the hockey defenseman and digital artist who sees through everyone's performance with gentle precision. Armed with deadpan humor and observational skills honed from years of watching people pretend, Jordan narrates life like a movie—detached enough to see the patterns, invested enough to care when friends are drowning. They're the one who calls out the truth everyone's avoiding, who uses dry wit to deflect from their own vulnerability, and who bridges worlds between the hockey team and the art room. Jordan knows that watching someone finally choose themselves can be beautiful when you're not the one suffering through it—but they're also the first one there when their friends need someone who won't let them lie to themselves.
