Common challenges we solve
English site gets traffic but few inquiries
Translation preserves the words. It rarely preserves the conversion.
"Just translate it" doesn't feel like the whole story
US customers don't just read differently. They decide differently.
No Amazon storefront in the US market.
For overseas D2C, Amazon is often the first touchpoint you're leaving on the table.
Need one bicultural partner, not just a translator
Working across two markets becomes easier with someone who understands the culture.
Paying monthly for a site your team can't update
When every content change requires a developer, updates can get expensive fast.
What we build
Global-Ready Website
Structure, content design, and UX writing built around how overseas customers read and decide. The right platform for the situation — WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, or Wix Studio — matched to your team's editing capacity, technical resources, and content velocity. Bilingual JP/EN structures designed in parallel, not translated after the fact.
Shopify Store
Product page UX, checkout flow, and conversion copy direction for cross-border selling. Store design that handles international shipping, currency, and customer expectations from launch day.
Amazon Storefront & A+ Content
Brand store design, listing pages, and A+ content built around how US shoppers actually evaluate products. The highest-leverage, most-overlooked asset for Japanese brands entering the US. (See Mirai Speaker: 1.92% → 5.19% CVR.)
Email Marketing Systems
Flow strategy, email copy design, and Klaviyo or Mailchimp implementation. Welcome flows, abandoned cart, post-purchase, campaign templates — designed once, running continuously.

Featured: Mirai Speaker — Japan → U.S. E-commerce Expansion
Mirai Speaker leads the hearing-assist market in Japan. Bringing it to U.S. shoppers on Amazon meant rethinking the storefront for a market that buys — and decides — differently.
The result: Amazon conversion climbed from 1.92% to 5.19% in seven months, customer acquisition cost dropped from $263 to $79, and a 202-unit Black Friday set a company sales record. I built the storefront, the Klaviyo email system, and represented the product at CES 2024 with JETRO.

Testimonials
Creative partnerships rarely begin with the biggest project.
They begin with the right one and the right people who are not only great at what they do but connected to the end goal.
Small studio. Serious range.
Both sides of the border
US-native, 12+ years in Japan. Customer-facing ready. English written natively. No translator layer between your company and your designer.
Small studio, established collaborators
Strategy, design, and build under one roof, with trusted development partners for larger builds. Collaborate with photographers, digital marketers and copywriters for full service projects.
Real launch experience
Three years leading Mirai Speaker's US expansion — WordPress, Klaviyo, and Amazon working as one system. The numbers on record. Playbook, not theory.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. WordPress is a legitimate platform for the right cases — it's the stack behind Mirai Speaker's US expansion (results above). If it's working for your team, we build alongside it. If it isn't — often because updates are too slow or the site has grown expensive to maintain — we plan a migration carefully around your SEO history and content.
-
Yes — for meetings, project coordination, and day-to-day communication, Japanese works well (12+ years in Japan helps).
For contracts, formal proposals, and business-critical documents, I bring in a native Japanese collaborator so nothing gets lost. Customer-facing English copy is always written natively.
-
Yes. The packages are starting points, not rules. Single-channel projects are common.
-
For smaller content pieces, I shoot and edit in-house — a background producing 100+ short-form documentary interviews helps.
For larger, professional productions, I work with a trusted Japanese videographer and can coordinate actors and talent in Tokyo.
-
Yes — I have hands-on experience with Google Ads (part of the Chris Jones SEO/AEO project) and I collaborate with Japanese digital marketers for larger, ongoing paid media programs across Google Ads and Meta.
-
I handle content design, UX writing, and conversion copy direction. For larger content and copywriting projects I work with specialist copywriters.
