I create commercial-grade visual content for brands – from product photography and high-conversion ad creatives to website banners and full fashion campaigns. My approach combines precision AI generation with expert Photoshop compositing to deliver polished, production-ready assets. For brands that need many consistent variations at scale, I also build the reusable AI prompt systems behind them – not just single images, but a design system you can reuse.
✨ What I can create for you:
– Commercial AI Product Photography: high-fidelity imagery for e-commerce, beauty tech, cosmetics, and fragrance (maintaining strict label and geometry accuracy).
– High-Conversion Digital Assets: Meta ad creatives, CTR-optimized YouTube thumbnails, and large-format print preparation.
– Website & Brand Visuals: hero banners, landing page imagery, and realistic AI composites preserving real human likeness, fully assembled in Figma.
– AI Brand & Fashion Campaigns: character-consistent AI models, campaign stills, and AI cinematic video.
– Fine Art & Conceptual Collages: gallery-ready print collections and symbolic visual storytelling, print-prepped for large-format (300 DPI, CMYK).
– Scalable AI Prompt Systems: for brands needing many consistent, on-brand variations – flavor swaps, new SKUs, style-DNA extraction from references.
🛠️ My Technical Skills include:
– AI Image & Video Generation: Midjourney, Nano Banana Pro/2, ChatGPT Image, Reve, Seedream, Leonardo AI, Kling, Seedance.
– Post-Production: advanced Photoshop compositing, precise masking, non-destructive editing, portrait retouching, and AI artifact removal.
– Design & Layout: Figma, typography integration, cinematic color grading, print prep (300 DPI, CMYK).
– Workflow Architecture: Weavy.AI, Higgsfield, system prompt engineering, node-based design pipelines.
🌱 What sets me apart: I don't just generate images – I build the underlying systems. For example, I recently spent four months engineering a multi-scenario AI prompt system for a packaging app (flavor swaps, category transfers, style-DNA extraction). The same logic applies to any brand needing consistent variations at scale. I use Midjourney to establish premium lighting, Nano Banana Pro/2 to maintain strict identity, and Adobe Photoshop for the final, flawless gallery-level finish.
💬 Send your references or brief and I'll tell you which approach fits – a single AI-generated image, or a reusable prompt system built for scale.

I am a graphic designer who was born and raised in the coastal area of northern Japan. I attribute my creative roots from living around the beautiful city there. In my career I’ve had the privilege to work in many different industries and for clients such as travel agencies , design agencies, IT companies, non-profits, and private clients. I usually use adobe suite products like Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I love exploring new styles and techniques to suit the clients needs. I’m a digital nomad at the moment and have been country hopping since 2015. I’m obsessed with seeing new and exciting locations and exploring nature across the world. I love to meet new people with different experiences from my own and it can have an influence on my design and give me new perspectives.

Please feel free to take a look at my portfolio as well.
If you are not yet sure what kind of design you want, no worries.
Using my coaching skills, I begin with a conversation to help you clarify the results you want to achieve and the ideal image you have in mind.
Based on that vision, I create designs that aim to make you feel excited and say, “This is exactly what I wanted!” when you see the final creative.
To speed up the process, I use AI during the design stage. However, the final files are delivered in an editable Canva format, allowing you to easily adjust text or make small changes later.
In addition, I don’t just deliver the design. By incorporating coaching techniques into the process, I help you strengthen your own ability to imagine and articulate your design vision as well.
ーーーーーーー
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
Every encounter is a gift — and I truly value each one✨️
