I’m a motion graphic design freelancer based in Japan. I studied Multimedia Design at Humber College in Canada, while completing multiple online motion design programs from U.S. schools in parallel. Before graduating, I was approached by a video production company, which led me to start my freelance career immediately. Currently, I work with United States and Japan video production company, and handling 70 to 100 projects annually. While my main focus is on infographics, I am also skilled in producing opening/attack sequences, 3D animations, and VFX.

I design product UI in Figma and ship it as production React/TypeScript code – no handoff gap, no "the build doesn't match the mockup." I've worked with Web3/blockchain products, a YouTube production team, and a VTuber company as a logo designer, UI designer, and motion graphics designer. What I do • Product & marketing UI for mobile and desktop (Figma) • Frontend implementation (React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS) • Brand identity — logo, type, color systems (Illustrator) • Motion — UI micro-interactions, promo video (After Effects, Premiere Pro) Because I own both the design and the code, one person is accountable from wireframe to deployed page. In practice that means fewer review rounds and no spec drift between Figma and the repo. Based in Japan (JST) and used to working async with overseas teams.
