About Us
Design with Purpose and Understanding
Thank you for visiting TMCreation. Our work is shaped by years of experience supporting businesses and organisations across different industries and regions. We see design not as decoration, but as a tool for clear communication, helping organisations express their ideas, values, and intentions to the right audience.
By understanding context and purpose, we organise what should be communicated, to whom, and how, shaping it through language and visual design in a clear and natural way. Design often becomes the public face of a company or service, forming the foundation of meaningful communication.
We focus on why a design exists and who it is for, approaching every project from the client’s perspective to deliver purposeful, considered design aligned with real objectives.
Our mission is to connect organisations with their audiences through design, clearly conveying the true value of their products and services. Through this, we aim to support our clients and build lasting trust.
Japanese Design for Global Brands
TMCreation began between 2003 and 2005 during our work in Australia. After returning to Japan, we continued our practice under the name Logo Design Tokyo, focusing on logo creation and visual identities that shape first impressions for companies and organisations.
Rooted in the precision and attention to detail found in Japanese design, we continue to value originality, quality, and thoughtful execution. Our experience living and working across cultures has shaped our approach, allowing us to design with care even where language and cultural contexts differ. In every project, our goal is to ensure intent is conveyed clearly, without distortion.
A Clear and Consistent Process, Rooted in Identity
From the initial consultation through to final delivery, we carefully organise priorities and objectives at every stage of the process. We listen closely to our clients, select only what is truly necessary, and translate ideas into clear outcomes through both words and visuals.
Beginning with logo and identity design, and extending through to website design and development, we maintain consistency, usability, and long term practicality. Our work is intended not only to launch well, but to remain effective over time.
With experience across more than 32 industries including public sector, education, hospitality, technology, and lifestyle, our role is to support our clients’ marketing and communication goals through thoughtful design.
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.
TMCreation delivered outstanding work for NNTAC. Toshi invested time in deeply understanding our community’s heritage and values, and translated this into a brand identity that is both respectful and visually compelling. His responsiveness, strong design capability, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and efficient. I would highly recommend Toshi for projects requiring thoughtful, culturally aware design.
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 TMCreation. 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.
TMCreation has supported our website design and ongoing management over many years. In addition to thoughtful design input, they reliably handle WordPress updates, adjustments, and fixes, giving us confidence in day to day operation. Even when issues arise, they respond quickly and with care. TMCreation is a trusted partner we look forward to continuing to work with.
Where Meaning Quietly Takes Shape
From startups to educational institutions and public bodies, we have delivered over 430 projects. Our priority has always been to deeply understand the unique background and cultural context of every client, whether in Japan or abroad.
We believe design should not be overpowering. Instead, it should exist like "air," a natural presence that allows your story and values to flow freely. Details such as color, whitespace, and word choice are all strategic elements connected to your purpose. We construct design not merely as visuals, but as a precise tool for communication.
Currently, about 65% of our clients are international, and 35% are based in Japan. Through a seamless remote system that bridges physical distance, we apply "Japanese precision" and care while maintaining a clear "global perspective." Across different cultures and environments, we ensure your intent regarding what to convey, to whom, and how is communicated clearly.
Let's Create Design That Feels True to You
At TMCreation, we value quality and communication over quantity. Your ideas are never left behind. We believe that it is precisely because each client brings their own perspective and way of thinking that truly distinctive design can be created.
Our role is to listen carefully, understand deeply, and shape design that accurately reflects your values and intentions. Often, what needs to be created is not fully defined at the beginning. Through conversation, clarity emerges. From logo design onwards, we work together to create design that connects creators and audiences in a meaningful way.
- Careful communication from your perspective
- Clear and honest explanations with transparent pricing
- Long term support that continues after delivery
Clear dialogue leads to shared understanding
Good Design Begins with Understanding
Ideas and intentions do not always have a clear shape at the beginning. That is why we start by making them visible through open and honest conversation. Some thoughts can be put into words, others cannot, but both are equally important in the design process.
We believe that trust is built through genuine discussion. Without honest dialogue, meaningful work cannot exist. Words such as “good” or “cool” can mean very different things depending on culture, experience, values, and personal background. Understanding these differences is essential.
At TMCreation, the designer works directly with you, listening carefully and uncovering what truly matters. By developing the project together through clear communication, we can respond quickly and flexibly to changing needs and create design that feels right, purposeful, and authentic.

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 handles your logo, website, and branding from start to finish. There is no salesperson or project coordinator in between, which helps avoid miscommunication and keeps the process efficient and focused.
By removing unnecessary layers, we reduce delays and extra costs while ensuring your intentions are clearly reflected in the final outcome. Even when design decisions are guided by instinct, they are always rooted in a clear purpose. Close communication is essential to align that purpose with the design process and deliver consistent, meaningful results.
All design work is led and created by TMCreation. This ensures a consistent design vision, clear communication, and accountability throughout the project. Where specialised technical development or system level programming is required, we collaborate with trusted professionals. You do not need to manage or coordinate anyone directly. TMCreation oversees the entire process and ensures all work aligns with your design direction, objectives, and quality standards.
TMCreation reflects a design approach rooted in human thinking and careful craftsmanship. The name originates from the studio’s beginnings and represents the belief that meaningful design starts with ideas, intent, and clarity.
The logo mark is inspired by a pencil, symbolising the importance of sketching, refinement, and genuine thought. Even in a digital environment, TMCreation continues to value design that begins with purpose and is shaped through careful consideration.
TMCreation has been designing logos, websites, and brand identities for over twenty years. To date, we have completed more than 430 projects across Japan, Australia, the UK, the USA, and the Asia Pacific region.
These projects include long term relationships with returning clients as well as collaborative work delivered alongside agencies and partner teams. Across these engagements, TMCreation has contributed to more than 350 collaborative projects, supporting organisations of varying size and scope with clear, reliable, and purpose driven design.

Branding with cultural respect, narrative clarity, and purpose
Collaborating with Indigenous communities through NNTAC and IBA taught me the significance of sharing a common purpose within cross-cultural contexts and the importance of respecting identity through design. The Ngarrabullgan project, in particular, was a vital opportunity to reaffirm my core philosophy: that design is a tool for supporting the values that already exist.
