I’m a video editor and motion designer with a lifelong background in visual creation, digital design, and storytelling. Video and design have been central to my work for many years, and over time my focus has evolved from traditional editing and motion work flows into AI-assisted creative production. Since January 2024, I’ve been fully dedicated to AI tools, with a strong emphasis on AI video editing and generative video work flows. I combine motion design, AI-driven visual generation, and rapid creative testing to produce scalable, high-impact video assets for ads, social media, and brands to storytelling. As a native Japanese and Portuguese (PT-BR) speaker fluent in English, I work comfortably with global teams, adapting visuals across cultures, platforms, and audiences while maintaining consistency, speed, and performance-driven results.
