The Fat Moon Creative Team
Cora Hirashiki | Principal & Founder
Cora started Fat Moon Creative with one goal: to build an agency where, for every client, the team feels honored to do the work and finds true joy in it. Her career started in LA’s film industry and publishing, and she brought that storytelling background to marketing for mission-driven brands. She’s been running agencies for more than a decade, first as co-founder of Sisu Creative, a digital marketing agency for changemakers, and then, since 2020, as the founder of Fat Moon.
She studied literature and multimedia communication at UC Santa Barbara, and she still writes speculative fiction for fun. The causes closest to her heart are fostering literacy, creating regenerative and sustainable food systems, and advancing environmental and social justice. She’s a mom to two boys and a poodle supermutt, spends her weekends at local regenerative farms, and is currently studying herbalism.
Meagan English | Director of Strategy
Since joining Fat Moon in 2022, she’s led strategy, content, and copy for our clients, and she’s built relationships with many of them that go back years. She’s particularly proud of her work with The Kingfish Company, a sustainable seafood company in the Netherlands.
In a single year, she grew their Instagram followers 71% and Facebook views 456% through storytelling, creator partnerships, and content from the brand’s own community.
Before building her career in marketing, Meagan received her B.A. in anthropology and worked as an actor. She still dabbles now and then.
In Los Angeles, she spent four years at The Tangent Agency, moving from freelance copywriter to Senior Manager of Strategy on campaigns for entertainment, wellness, fintech, and consumer brands.
Since early 2025, Meagan has organized alongside residents of a public housing community in a historically Black neighborhood in Savannah who are fighting displacement. She started the campaign’s outreach and a petition that has passed 1,000 signatures.
She also hikes, is learning to make more things with her hands, and is working toward living in an intentional community with friends someday. Until then, it’s her and her cat, Roxy!
Rafael Lumang | Digital Marketing Manager
Raf has been with Fat Moon for over four years, leading creator/influencer partnerships, paid social, and web design for our clients. He has been a content creator for more than five years, partnering with clean beauty brands like OSEA and Summer Fridays, so he knows what brand partnerships look like from the creator’s side.
He’s certified in Shopify and Squarespace design and development through ilovecreatives and helped build the websites for Sea Pact and Fed by Blue. Raf’s favorite design projects are for musicians. He designs with feeling and empathy, often using their music as the direct inspiration for their sites.
Raf is a vocal supporter of racial justice and LGBTQ+ rights because he knows what it’s like to feel unsafe for who you are and who you love. He’s also into thrifting and makeup, and loves turning any fantasy look into reality on a cute budget.
Cindy Vang | Social Media Specialist
Cindy got her start in fashion marketing, working in both fast fashion and slow fashion. She saw the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of the industry, and that experience clarified her values and the kind of marketing work she wanted to do—spoiler alert, it’s the kind that prioritizes our planet! With a B.A. in fashion and eight years in marketing, from e-commerce to social media, she’s spent the last four at Fat Moon handling paid social, content scheduling and publishing, and community engagement for our clients.
Environmental sustainability is a cause close to her heart, and so is education. She comes from a family of educators and wants learning to be accessible to everyone, regardless of background. She volunteers at her local rec center, helping seniors with crochet, which is her own craft too. She makes everything from wearable pieces and handbags to keychains, and she loves turning simple threads into something unique, practical, and personal.
Melani De Guzman | Social Media Specialist
Melani was a professional dancer and teaching artist before she moved into marketing. She built her skills in philanthropy and arts activism with BIPOC-led organizations like Lula Washington Dance Theatre, then moved into social media in the fitness industry, followed by social impact, CPG, and e-commerce.
With more than eight years in marketing, she handles content scheduling and publishing for Fat Moon clients and has done community engagement for us too. She also loves learning about blue foods and the small grassroots groups around the world working to protect their land and environments.
Melani is deeply rooted in the Filipinx community in New York. She co-built Kaya, a network for Filipinx creatives in the tristate area, and organizes with Malaya Movement, a grassroots network working for human rights and democracy in the Philippines. Outside of work, she’s a cat mom who takes all kinds of dance classes (pole is her go-to, salsa her latest!), hikes, attends art events, and loves finding new pastry shops.
Ashley Barriteau | Social Media Specialist
Ashley has marketed everything from biotech to fitness apps. Over more than six years, she’s worked as a marketing manager, product marketer, copywriter, and content marketer across SaaS, fintech, online education, and agencies, and she holds an MBA and certifications from HubSpot and Google Analytics.
At Fat Moon, she handles social media scheduling and community engagement for our clients, and she loves that they’re making a real difference at a time when sustainability matters more than ever.
A strong believer that every animal deserves a loving home, she champions animal rescue. She also supports Prevent Child Abuse America and used to volunteer monthly at an orphanage, where she played with the kids and helped them just be kids for a while. She advises her sorority, helping college women build leadership skills they can take into their careers. She’s into true crime and the psychology behind the genre, and when she has free time, you’ll find her at the beach, exploring local restaurants, or traveling.
Suzanne Feyche | Social Media Manager
Suzanne built the first U.S. social community for a Grammy-winning artist. Watching it grow was thrilling, but what she’s proudest of is creating a safe, inclusive, multilingual space for fans to connect, not only in the U.S. but around the world. She’s also managed fan communities for a globally recognized character-led company.
Before social media, she spent a decade as a designer at a lifestyle brand, which she calls a masterclass in branding and marketing. At Fat Moon, she leads social strategy and content creation, and she loves working with mission-driven clients and a team who share her values.
She cares deeply about supporting marginalized communities and making sure every online space she manages is one where people feel welcome, heard, and respected. Suzanne also champions businesses that keep their production as sustainable and ethical as possible. She knows nobody can be a perfect consumer, but believes doing our best still makes an impact. Outside of work, she keeps up with pop culture, watches for the next print from her favorite slow fashion brand, and seeks out artisan pop-up markets (and their food vendors), new restaurants, coffee shops, and other local businesses to support.
Claire Hirashiki | Illustrator + Graphic Designer
Claire is a conservation data scientist who can find the heart and nuance in science and translate it visually for everyone else. She’s spent about ten years in marketing for environmental nonprofits and academia, and she’s proud of helping inform decision-makers and environmental practitioners, including through her contributions to the UCLA Energy Atlas, which provides information critical to California’s climate action and energy planning. For our clients, her work includes logos for Seafood and Gender Equality’s key programs and initiatives.
Her favorite cause is action on wastewater pollution, an issue that touches public health, the environment, coastal economies, and fisheries. She’s spent more than five years raising awareness of it and has watched it go from virtually unknown to a recognized threat in the conservation sector. Outside of work, she does ceramics, jewelry making, and floristry, and plays in a punk band.
