Global Creative Direction from Tokyo.
I help luxury, tourism, automotive, and culture brands tell stories that land — in Japan, and everywhere else. As a freelance Creative Director based in Tokyo, I bring award-winning craft across film, digital, OOH, and photography to campaigns that need to work across cultures, not just get translated into them.
Japanese brands hire me to make their story travel internationally. International brands hire me to make theirs land in Japan. Either way, you get a creative partner whose work has been recognized at award shows in the US, UK, and Europe — sharpened by years at agencies across New Zealand, Australia, and Japan before I went independent.
Local agencies bring me in specifically because I move fluently between English-speaking creative teams and the Japanese market — a rare combination that keeps big ideas intact instead of watered down in translation. Beyond commercial work, I'm a practicing artist — photography, illustration, and original art projects that keep my eye sharp and my thinking original.
