Our Customers Feel the Passion & Dedication
Toshi was instrumental in launching my business in Japan, offering fluent English communication, creative design, and valuable Japanese market insights. He built my website, designed my logo, and ensured a smooth start. His honesty, responsiveness, and detailed work impressed me so much that I’ve retained him as an ongoing consultant.
Working with Toshi during our Japan expansion was an outstanding experience. His expertise in design, translation, and cultural understanding made our bilingual website launch smooth and effective. He continues to manage the site with care and insight. Toshi is professional, reliable, and genuinely enjoyable to collaborate with.
We couldn’t be happier working with Toshi for our multiple logo and website creations. He got to know our company, our industry, and even about our personal likes, and from there, designed them perfectly. The logos and websites have been complimented many times by our partners. And Toshi always responds to our needs quickly too. I recommend him for all logo and website design needs!
About a year ago, I asked Toshi from TMCreation to design our new business cards, and I’m still very happy with the result. People often comment, “This card looks great!” or “It must be expensive to print,” which always sparks conversation. I look forward to continuing to work with Toshi in the future.
Working with Toshi was a wonderful experience. He guided us through each design decision, explaining what worked best and why. The entire process was smooth and efficient, and we always felt supported and understood. I highly recommend him for his professionalism and thoughtful approach to design.
Thank you to TMCreation for designing our logo and website that clearly reflect our expertise and business focus. The process was well-organised, and Toshi explained everything in detail, giving us confidence throughout. The final result is both attractive and user-friendly. We’re delighted with the outcome and look forward to working with him again.
I’ve worked with Toshi on several design projects and truly value his professionalism and creativity. He pays great attention to detail without being rigid, making collaboration smooth and enjoyable. His design sense stands out as clean, modern, and full of personality. I always look forward to working with him again.
A well-designed business card is a powerful sales tool that leaves a lasting impression. TMCreation knows how to create simple, elegant, and effective designs that express your brand clearly. Their thoughtful process helped clarify my business image and objectives. I highly recommend TMCreation for anyone seeking meaningful, results-driven design.
We asked Toshi to create our logo and other stationeries, and the results were outstanding. The design quality and card finish exceeded expectations. When we meet new clients, the first thing they say is, “Your business card looks amazing!” Toshi is prompt, reliable, and always honest with his feedback. We know we can depend on him.
Our accounting office needed a logo that would help clients instantly recognise who we are and what we do. Toshi created a design that not only looked professional but also strengthened our brand. TMCreation understands that good design must deliver results, not just look good, and they achieved exactly that.
I still remember how impressed I was when I received my business cards designed by Toshi. Through the design process, I was able to rethink my business goals, and he listened carefully to visualise them perfectly. The final result exceeded my expectations, and clients often compliment my cards. I’m very satisfied with his work.
Working with Toshi began by chance, but he quickly became a trusted creative partner and friend. He works closely with us, offering great marketing advice and selecting beautiful colours. His designs are simple yet powerful, full of unique ideas. I truly enjoy collaborating with him and look forward to creating more together.
Whenever I hand my business card to customers, they often say, “Wow, that’s beautiful!” or “What a nice logo!” Even in a simple exchange, the design sparks conversation. My vision was to express freshness, optimism, gentleness, and beauty, and Toshi captured it perfectly. I still feel proud every time I share my card.

Have a question about our services or process? We’ve gathered some of the most common questions from our clients to help you understand how we work and what to expect before getting started.
You work directly with the designer who creates your logo, website and branding. There is no sales person or project coordinator in the middle. Design is deeply connected to instinct and communication, so removing extra layers helps avoid misunderstandings, delays and unnecessary cost. You speak with the person who understands the design, develops the ideas and delivers the final work, ensuring clarity and consistency from start to finish.
All design is created by Toshi. If a project requires programming or system development, we collaborate with trusted freelance programmers. You do not need to manage them or coordinate anything yourself. We handle the entire process transparently and ensure all work matches your design direction and business goals.
TMCreation began as Toshi’s freelance design practice. The initials TM stand for Toshihiro Maruyama. The logo mark is shaped like a pencil, reflecting his original art style of oil colour pencils layered over watercolour. This represents his belief that even in the digital age, good design always begins with a human idea, a pencil and genuine thought. TMCreation continues to follow that principle today.
TMCreation has been designing logos, websites and branding materials for more than twenty years, with over 350 successfully completed projects across Japan, Australia, the UK, the USA and the Asia Pacific.
We have worked with more than thirty two industries including medical, education, hospitality, technology, retail, legal, financial, lifestyle, government and community organisations. Each project is shaped with care to reflect the purpose and audience of the business.
