Services

Websites and iOS apps

I take on website and iOS app projects — from planning and building through to release on the App Store.

  • Japanese
  • English
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Traditional Chinese

I work in all four languages myself, without outside translation services. Other languages are open to discussion.
