I worked as principal copywriter for the "Yamaha Journey" series for the global website of Yamaha Motor. Depending on the rider, I either wrote the copy based on interviews with the rider or translated and localized the Japanese copy into English. Sometimes, I worked as a proofreader and editor if the rider wrote their own story.

I wrote the tagline and the copy for the Nikon Eclipse Si Upright Microscope. This microscope was ergonomically designed to enhance operational efficiency for professionals who spend hours using microscopes. The tagline "Focus in comfort. Comfort in focus." was designed to convey the concept of the product.

I wrote articles for the FUSO Life section of the Mitsubishi FUSO global website. One of those was the story of a drifter and long-distance driver, Monique Kimura, based on an interview I conducted with her.
