Web Designer/Coder/Translator

I am passionate about using my skills to act as a bridge between Japan and the rest of the world, and I hope to facilitate international communication through translation and the creation of multilingual websites, graphic design, and media. I greatly enjoy design, coding, and translation, and I absolutely love Adobe Photoshop. I live in Osaka, Japan, with my munchkin cat.
