connecting cultures through design & storytelling

CarmelloVision partners with brands during high-stakes transitions, from market expansion to product launches and ongoing evolution, connecting brand stories with the systems they need to execute with speed and confidence.

Based in Tokyo and working across Japan, the U.S., and international markets, I work at the intersection of UX/UI, content, and strategy while staying grounded in culture and community.

most digital problems more than just design problems

Most teams don’t need another designer.
They need someone who understands how content, community, platforms, and brand identity connect to real business outcomes.

Someone who can step in, align stakeholders, and build systems that scale.

You’ll recognize the moment when you hear things like:

“Our website doesn’t reflect what we actually do.”

“Our content is active, but it’s not driving growth.”

“Customers don’t fully understand our product.”

“We’re expanding globally, but it’s not landing locally.”

“We know we should be doing more, but we’re what to improve.”

Brought in when alignment or momentum demands more than tactics.

When the story isn’t clear, the platform isn’t working, or teams are moving in different directions, I help shape the content, systems, and structure that bring everything back into focus.

Content & Campaign Design

Shaping narratives that introduce ideas clearly — supporting product launches, events, and releases with pitch-ready assets and campaigns that build momentum across channels.

Brand Systems That Scale

Building flexible systems teams can actually use — covering identity, marketing materials, web apps, event assets, and everything in between as your needs evolve.

Websites & Digital Platforms

Turning websites into conversion-focused tools that grow with you — working within your CMS, alongside your developers, or with trusted partners to keep things moving.

Embedded Design & Strategy

Stepping in as a design partner during transitions or high-intensity periods — coordinating across developers, photographers, PR teams, and specialists to keep everything aligned.
