Are you looking to expand your E-commerce business into the Japanese market? Hi, I'm Kaz, a specialized Amazon & E-commerce Product Image Designer based in Japan. Entering the Japanese market (Amazon Japan, Rakuten, etc.) can be challenging due to unique cultural preferences and high-context visual aesthetics. That is exactly where I come in. I don't just design pretty images; I create high-converting graphics tailored specifically for Japanese consumers. With a background in Business Management and experience working in a fast-paced, cross-cultural environment in New York, I understand both your business goals and the cultural nuances required to make your products sell.

I am excellent at adapting my skillset to solve any problem that is in front of me. My superpower is the ability to learn almost anything at an incredible speed and implement it to achieve a desired result. I'm a firm believer in Agile methodologies. I believe in 80/20 as a fractal and its various and multitudinous applications in every facet of work and life. Hard skills are nice, but soft skills make or break every endeavor. I believe in hard work, honesty, loyalty, and over-delivering. I'm always learning.

Expanding your business into Japan? You need more than translation — you need a designer who truly understands Japanese users. I'm a Japanese UI/UX designer and web strategist specializing in websites that convert — for global brands entering the Japanese market. My work on one of Japan's largest job platforms resulted in a +175.8% increase in registered users through UI/UX and CTA redesign. That kind of result comes from understanding how Japanese users think, trust, and decide — not just from making things look good. ▌ WHAT I BRING ・Deep knowledge of Japanese user behavior, UX conventions & trust signals ・CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) with Google Analytics & heatmap analysis ・Japan-optimized web design: landing pages, corporate sites, WordPress ・Before/After data-driven redesigns — not guesses, but measurable improvements ▌ PROVEN RESULT ・+175.8% increase in CV (registered users) — one of Japan's largest job platforms via UI/UX restructuring & CTA optimization ▌ MY SPECIALTY FOR GLOBAL BRANDS Most overseas websites fail in Japan not because of language — but because of UX. Japanese users respond to different visual hierarchies, trust signals, information density, and CTAs than Western audiences. I bridge that gap: your brand's vision, adapted to convert Japanese users. ▌ SERVICES ・Japanese landing page design (LP) ・Corporate website for Japanese market ・UI/UX audit & CRO improvement ・WordPress / STUDIO / HTML・CSS ▌ HOW WE WORK TOGETHER I work via clear, detailed written communication — async-friendly, timezone-flexible, and always well-documented. No meetings required. Just results. Ready to make your brand land in Japan? Let's build something that converts.

I always valued sincere and clear communication, which led to over 20 clients returning for continued support. This trust and consistency are what I consider my greatest strengths. ● Why Clients Choose Me ・Natural and polite communication in both Japanese and English ・Deep understanding of Japanese business culture and customer mindset ・Empathetic communication, even in sensitive or nuanced situations ・Meticulous attention to detail and proactive support — no hand-holding needed ● Services I Offer ・Email and schedule management (JP/EN) ・Client communication, follow-ups, and CRM updates ・Research, data entry, and document creation ・Lead list creation and outreach support ● Tools I Use ・Google Workspace / Notion / Trello / Slack / Zoom ・Chatwork / Discord / Canva ●Extra Skills That Strengthen My VA Work After transitioning from counseling to freelancing, I also learned web development.
