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.

Unpacking Japan podcast production. Directing, filming and editing commercials, documentaries, game shows and organizing event coverage.

Political Public Relations is a very controversial thing. But it was my best experience in PR, as well as in corporate communications. My biggest creative projects (so far) were planned and fulfilled on this position.
Being responsible for PR in a big governmental institution was one of the best experiences in my life. Although higher salary makes big difference for a young career hunter. :-)
First steps in Public Relations, learned a lot from my senior collegues. Working with Mass Media seemed to be different when I was working on TV. :-)
Here I got huge amount of communication experience: guests, you, an hour of live TV time and huge responsibility. Here I also met many interesting people, who changed my life.
I was responsible to communicate and organize video production for a local news channel, collaborating with interviewees, camera operators , video editors and news editors. This was a challenging job, that allowed me to grow fast.
Working part-time after university allowed me to learn teamwork and communication skills while performing mainly manual labor.
