The challenge
Updating a legendary brand held back by an outdated digital experience.
The original website had not been meaningfully updated in more than a decade. It was non-responsive, visually dated, and difficult to use on the devices most visitors actually carry. The challenge was to modernise the experience without flattening what makes the studio itself remarkable.
What I did
A multilingual, responsive platform that balances Japanese tradition with modern usability.
I redesigned the site using contemporary UX and UI principles combined with visual language drawn from Japanese aesthetics. The new experience introduced responsive layouts, a clearer information architecture, and multilingual support, so an international audience can reach the studio on the same terms as a domestic one.
