Japan-Australia Branding Agency.

Tokyo Design Studio is purpose-built for businesses that operate across both Japan and Australia. We're not a Tokyo agency that 'also does English work', and we're not a Sydney agency that 'also handles Japanese projects'. We're a single team with native fluency in both markets — so when a Japanese brand enters Australia, or an Australian brand launches in Tokyo, we work without translation friction or cultural blind spots.

Tokyo Design Studio(TDS、東京デザインスタジオ)は、日豪両市場でビジネスを展開する企業のために構築された、クロスカルチャー型ブランディング・エージェンシーです。日本進出を計画するオーストラリア企業、オーストラリア進出を計画する日本企業、または両市場で同時にビジネスを行う企業——いずれの場合も、翻訳のラグや文化的な見落としなしに、ネイティブレベルの両言語チームで対応します。

Why TDS · なぜTDSか

The structural problem with most cross-cultural design work: it's outsourced. A Tokyo agency hires a Sydney freelancer (or vice versa). The result is a project that looks bilingual but feels translated. TDS solves this by operating one team across both jurisdictions: Tokyo Design Studio Pty Ltd is the Australian entity (ABN 94 710 735 406, ACN 655 780 224); Tokyo Design Studio is the Japanese-facing brand. Same founders, same designers, same standards, two countries.

FAQ · よくある質問

Common questions about japan-australia branding.

What is a cross-cultural branding agency?

A cross-cultural branding agency designs brand systems that work natively across multiple cultural contexts — not just translated versions of a single-culture brand. Tokyo Design Studio specialises in cross-cultural work for Japan, Australia, and Vietnam, with native-speaking teams in each market.

Why hire a Japan-Australia bilingual agency?

If your business has operations or growth ambitions in both Tokyo and Sydney (or anywhere in Japan and Australia), a bilingual agency removes the translation/coordination tax that comes with running two separate vendors. Our co-founders Jess Tavitian (Japanese N1, lived in Tokyo 6+ years) and Victor Tavitian operate across both markets daily.

How is TDS structured between Australia and Japan?

Two legal entities, one studio. Tokyo Design Studio Pty Ltd is the Australian entity (ABN 94 710 735 406, ACN 655 780 224, NSW). Tokyo Design Studio operates the Japanese-facing brand and Tokyo studio. Same founders, same operating culture. We invoice from whichever entity makes sense for your jurisdiction.

Can you help with market entry from Australia to Japan?

Yes. We've supported Australian businesses entering the Japanese market with brand localisation, web design with proper Japanese typographic standards, and cultural strategy. The reverse direction — Japanese businesses entering Australia — is also a regular part of our work.

日豪のブランディングを依頼する際の注意点は?

日豪両市場でブランドを展開する場合、最も重要なのは「翻訳されたブランド」ではなく「両言語でネイティブに機能するブランド」を構築することです。多くの場合、片方の市場で成立したコンセプトをそのまま他方に持ち込むと、文化的な違和感が生じます。Tokyo Design Studioでは、企画段階から日英両言語で思考し、両市場で同時に成立する設計を提供しています。
