Most design projects begin as a knot: too many ideas, unclear flows, complex features, or a brand that no longer says enough. My job is to find the thread. For 8+ years, I’ve been turning complicated ideas into clear, useful, and visually distinctive experiences. I work across product design, UX/UI, branding, and graphic design, including: • B2B SaaS, enterprise software, dashboards, and internal tools • AI products, mobile apps, and digital services • Websites, landing pages, and conversion-focused experiences • Branding, visual identities, and marketing materials • Design systems, prototypes, UX audits, and developer handoff Before opening Figma, I want to understand your product, audience, business, and goals. Because good design is not decoration. It gives complex ideas structure, makes products easier to use, and gives people a reason to choose them. I’ve worked with startups, agencies, product teams, and established businesses across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Some clients arrive with detailed specifications. Others bring a sketch, an idea, or a problem they cannot yet explain. I’m comfortable starting from either place. Tell me what you’re building, or where it feels tangled. We’ll find the thread.

Is your website losing Japanese customers because it "reads like a translation"? I'm a native Japanese web and graphic designer with 20+ years in Japan's creative industry — I make sure it doesn't. Machine translation gets the words right and the impression wrong. Japanese users notice awkward line breaks, wrong font weights, and copy that sounds foreign — and they leave. I fix both the language and the design so your site feels like it was built in Japan. WHAT I DO - Japanese versions of existing websites (WordPress) - Japanese-language DTP: brochures, catalogs, presentations (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) - Design review of Japanese pages built by non-Japanese teams - Ongoing WordPress maintenance and content updates WHY JAPANESE-NATIVE MATTERS Typography, spacing, and tone work differently in Japanese. A layout that looks clean in English often looks cheap or unreadable in Japanese. I've spent 20 years designing for Japanese clients, so I catch these before your users do. COMMUNICATION I'm a Japanese designer currently based in Kuala Lumpur (UTC+8), so I likely won't be online at the same time as you. That's why I work primarily in writing — it keeps requirements precise and gives you a clear record of every decision. I reply within a few hours during my working day. If you prefer video, I can send a recorded walkthrough of my work. HOW WE START Send me your site or file and tell me what it's for. I'll reply within a few hours with what I'd change and what it would cost. I also offer monthly retainers for clients who need ongoing updates.
