What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my design skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative branding and visual storytelling.

As a visual designer based in Tokyo, Japan, I have cultivated a diverse skill set in branding, art direction, and social media marketing. My journey began in the vibrant city of Hong Kong, where I developed a passion for visual storytelling and design. Over the years, I have collaborated with renowned clients such as R/GA, Google, and Adobe, delivering impactful visual communications that resonate with audiences.

Currently, I work as a freelance visual designer, where I focus on creating compelling motion graphics and illustrations. My role involves curating and creating social media content that aligns with brand visuals, ensuring that each project reflects the unique identity of the client. I take pride in my ability to blend creativity with strategic thinking, resulting in designs that not only look great but also drive engagement and brand loyalty.
