INADA STUDIO is a creative firm with the unique ability to reach both today's youth markets and the general consumer on the very personal peer level.
Acting as a creative think tank, we can capitalize on our multicultural DNA by first dissecting a creative challenge from many different vantage points. Having understood the client's needs, purpose, and the market, we then apply our acute sense of trends and cultural shifts to a dynamic and precise concept-driven design that can capture and engage the audience.
INADA STUDIO's approach to design is a basic one. We believe good ideas make for robust design and masterful execution allows for clear communication. Our multicultural environment drives a free creative process method and leads to inspired design and open collaboration. Which in the end benefits not only the clients but also our designers.
Concept planning is where we start. The visual is well-rounded. And has a purpose.
