We do Japanese & bilingual web design, localization, usability testing, graphic design and consulting. Check some of our selected works, and bookmark our [...]

New site for the Institut
Freelance work has been picking up (thank you!!) and we’ve just launched the redesigned website for the French-Japanese Institute in Tokyo, one of the oldest French institutions in Japan.

New Portfolio

New Flickr Galleries
Today, I reactivated the photo galleries /AD page. All links now go to Flickr. And I am really liking it. It’s so powerful, the slideshows are a devil invention to make you cry in front of your pics… There is still some cleanup to be done, more than 1300 pics without any tags, many tags [...]

Updated. The city has just become more exciting! We built what we thought was most missing in our city of Tokyo: an Art and Design amplifier. We know there are hundreds of artists and venues broadcasting in the city, yet so few ways to hear about them. Now there is Tokyo Art Beat. We feel [...]
