Work with Me

I document everyday life in the Japanese countryside, from seasonal living, community traditions, and the small, human moments. When I collaborate with brands, the integration is natural, story-led, and trust-driven.

Partnership Philosophy

My content is story-first.

I integrate brands into real life — where viewers encounter them organically. Because I live in rural Japan, I tell stories from within — not as a visitor, but as a participant.

When brands appear in my content, they become part of that lived experience.

Travel and cross-cultural exploration
Digital tools that support remote or international life
Sustainability and slow living
Home, renovation, and lifestyle integration
Products or services that serve an internationally curious audience

Kyoya Dye Works partnered with me to introduce their traditional Japanese workwear to English-speaking audiences through lifestyle storytelling.

Deliverables: 60–90 second sponsor integrations
Results: Average 5% conversion rate

Since 2024, Surfshark and Saily have partnered with me on a series of story-driven YouTube integrations focused on travel, rural life, and renovation projects in Japan. Rather than traditional ad reads, the campaigns used natural, entertaining sponsor segments woven into the videos themselves — helping maintain viewer retention while driving strong click-throughs and conversions.
