Bio
English–Japanese / Japanese–English

I have over 15 years of experience in cross-cultural consulting, brand identity management/marketing, transcreation, naming/tagline creation, subtitling, translation, copywriting and editing, proofreading, and interpreting. I am also a working art director, providing graphic design and DTP services in both languages.


I specialize in transcreations and pursuasion copy, especially for branding and advertising, and my client list encompasses a wide range of industries, including television/motion picture, medical, fashion, technology, automotive, NPOs/government, fine art, and music.


My academic background in cross-cultural studies gives me the foundation as well as a certain depth to my work when adapting cultural specificities and nuances. As a seasoned designer, I am well-versed in the issues surrounding type and graphics for print and on the screen; this allows me to provide additional insight for visual adaptation, beyond the linguistic and the cultural.
