creative & strategic services
Since 2014, I've partnered with brands across Japan, the US, and international markets to solve the problems that sit between a great idea and the audience it deserves. As a designer, strategist, and cross-cultural connector, I don't just build things — I help teams figure out what to build, why it will work — and how to make sure it lands, whether the audience is in Tokyo, Dubai, Milwaukee or anywhere in between.
01 | websites & digital presence
What do your customers experience when visiting your site? Improve how they see you while achieving your business goals.
Your digital presence is often the first thing a potential client, partner, or investor sees. It either builds confidence or raises doubt — before a single conversation happens. I design and build websites that reflect what you actually do, speak to the people you're actually trying to reach, and give your team a platform they can manage and grow.
Whether you're starting from scratch, redesigning something that no longer fits, or expanding into a new market, the goal is always the same: a presence that earns trust and drives action.
This includes:
Website design & development
Website redesigns & refreshes
Landing pages for campaigns & launches
UX/UI design for web
Bilingual & cross-cultural web experiences
eCommerce websites ● Multilingual websites ● Travel websites ● B2B & B2C websites ● Informational websites ● Landing pages ● F&B websites
02 | digital product design
Already have developers? Even better.
Not every project starts from zero. If you have an existing dev team, an agency partner, or a technical co-founder — I work alongside them. I handle the design, UX/UI, and creative direction, and hand off clean, build-ready assets your developers can work with.
This means you get senior design thinking without rebuilding your entire workflow around a new vendor. And with my background in project management, connecting the creative deliverables with your dev team is a smooth, organized process — not an afterthought.
And if you still need a developer, I've got you covered. I can connect you with a trusted dev team I've worked with directly so the handoff is clean, the communication is smooth, and your project doesn't lose momentum finding the right people.
This includes:
Website design & development
Website redesigns & refreshes
Landing pages for campaigns & launches
UX/UI design for web
Bilingual & cross-cultural web experiences
eCommerce websites ● Multilingual websites ● Travel websites ● B2B & B2C websites ● Informational websites ● Landing pages ● F&B websites ● SaaS ● Corporate & Enterprise websites
03 | content & campaign design
A great product with a weak story is a missed opportunity.
Content isn't just posts and captions. It's how your brand shows up every day — across social, campaigns, launches, and every touchpoint your audience interacts with. When it's working, it builds momentum. When it's not, even great work gets ignored.
I help brands shape content that has a clear purpose behind it — connected to business goals, built for the platforms your audience is actually on, and designed to move people from awareness to action.
This includes:
Social media content design & rollout
Campaign creative across channels
Launch assets & pitch-ready materials
Content strategy & messaging frameworks
Cross-cultural content adaptation
eCommerce ● entertainment ● travel promotional ● B2B / B2C ● DTC ● F&B
04 | brand Identity & design
People don't buy products. They buy into brands.
A brand isn't a logo. It's the complete picture of how your business is perceived — across every touchpoint, every platform, every market. When that picture is clear and consistent, it builds trust faster than any ad campaign. When it's fragmented, even your best work gets undercut.
I build brand identities and design systems that are distinct, flexible, and built for the long run — giving your team the tools to show up consistently whether you're pitching a client, launching a campaign, or setting up an expo booth.
This includes:
Brand identity & logo design
Visual systems & brand guidelines
Marketing collateral & print design
Expo & event design (booths, signage, displays)
Graphic design across formats & platforms
eCommerce ● entertainment ● travel promotional ● B2B / B2C ● DTC ● F&B
05 | embedded design & strategy
Sometimes you don't need a project.
You need a partner.
There are moments in a business when the pace picks up, the stakes rise, and the team needs more creative firepower than they have in-house. That's where embedded support comes in — not a new hire, not a one-off freelancer, but a senior creative partner who steps in, gets oriented fast, and helps keep everything moving in the right direction.
I've worked inside agency environments, alongside global teams, and across time zones — coordinating design, content, developers, photographers, and specialists when the project demands it. If you need someone who can lead as much as execute, this is the engagement for you.
This includes:
Ongoing retainer design support
Creative direction & stakeholder alignment
Cross-team coordination (dev, PR, photography, marketing)
Strategy consulting for digital presence & market expansion
Japan market entry support for international brands
eCommerce ● Japan Market entry ● travel promotional ● B2B / B2C ● DTC ● F&B ● Cross-team coordination (dev, PR, photography, marketing)
a note on platforms & tools
I work within whatever system fits your team and your budget — the platform is never the point. The goal is always something that represents you clearly, performs reliably, and that your team can actually manage. If you're unsure what's right for your situation, that's exactly what the discovery conversation is for.
