JapanWhat I'm looking for
At ZenGroup’s ZenStudio, I direct, film, and edit commercials, documentaries, game shows, event coverage, and the Unpacking Japan podcast. I’ve managed more than 100 commercial and organic productions in one year, distributed across 19 languages.
I’ve led a video podcast reaching 250k+ YouTube views and 4M short-form views, while directing high-budget campaigns with multidisciplinary teams. My work spans the full production lifecycle, from concept and creative direction through filming, post-production, and distribution.
Before ZenGroup, I built experience across television news, live talk shows, public relations, corporate communications, and education in Japan and China. I enjoy launching new media projects, developing brand stories, and creating cinematic work that connects with audiences worldwide.
