Hi! I’m Kikyo,

originally from Shanghai, now based in Tokyo.

Nearly ten years ago, I moved to Japan alone to study abroad. I went to boarding school at 14, then transferred to a Japanese girls' high school as the only foreigner. At 16, I started my journey of living alone in a country where I didn’t speak the language. Somewhere along the way, through all the struggling and exploring, this place became home.

 

I earned my American bachelor's degree at Temple University Japan, where I was elected vice president of the student government (2021-2022), and hired as the social media team lead to create videos for Temple University’s official TikTok and Instagram accounts for 3 years. I contributed to filming, editing, and acting in a TikTok video that reached 1 million views. This was the place where I not only learned professional skills in video production and visual arts, but also how to build leadership and navigate between cultures, languages, and my own creative ideas.

​

Before diving into digital marketing, I spent five years working as a fashion model, signed with multiple agencies and traveled to work in different countries. This experience didn’t just teach me how to be in front of the camera, working closely with the production team gave me a deep understanding of visual storytelling, branding, and the power of aesthetics across cultures.

​

Growing up between China and Japan with a Western educational background has shaped how I see the world, and how I create. With 7 years of hands-on experience in digital marketing and content creation, I specialize in turning stories into scroll-stopping visuals and building communities across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Bilibili.

​

My main purpose in creating is to express my personal growth and experiences through aesthetic visuals, telling stories to those who understand, and bringing these individuals together to build a community to create something deeply meaningful.

 

With my skill in staying ahead and keeping up with the latest trends, I can help you craft impactful content, whether it’s a viral video, a campaign launch, or a full strategy plan. I always bring my unique value and skills to contribute to building your one-of-a-kind community.

​

If you’re a brand or creative individual who wants to connect with real people in a real way,

let’s talk. I’d love to help you tell your story.
