After graduating from university, I went to Sri Lanka. As a member of the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers, I coached soccer in Kandy with members of the Kandy City Hall.
After returning to Japan, I worked as a soccer coach and studied design.
In 2005, I went back to Sri Lanka to help the victims of the Sumatra earthquake.
After that, I worked for a confectionery manufacturer in Japan. In that company, worked as a designer for packaging, promotional tools and displays. As a manager, I was also involved in brand development work such as contents management, product planning, store planning, website development, e-commerce management, intellectual property management, and public relations. At the same time, I am also responsible for various photography tasks.
For two years from 2016, I worked in Indonesia as a member of the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers again. I supported SMEs through design in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. As a consultant, I have worked with many small businesses.
After returning to Japan, I will organize a photo exhibition in Kyoto to support the victims of the Indonesian earthquake.
In 2019, I launched Orita Planning and started working as a freelancer based in Osaka, Japan. I undertake content creation through photography and design. In addition, I also provide consultancy and advisory services related to content creation and production know-how. I also give lectures on themes such as international cooperation, multiculturalism, and SDGs.
