My last name means “delicious” in Hawaiian. I believe a good design should be “ono.” Whether cooking a simple or complex dish, a good chef makes the most of the materials on hand to execute an ono creation. It is the same with graphic design. At Ono Design Studio, I can cook up something delicious for you, whatever the ingredients you bring me.
If you are looking for someone who has bilingual skills and bicultural sensitivity (Japanese/English), then the Ono Design Studio is a one stop place for you.
I am looking forward to talking to you about your new project.
Aloha,
Etsuko Ono
Making just a pretty or cool thing is not the graphic designer’s goal. Delivering information by visual means in the most effective way is. The information could be your message, brand philosophy or mission. After intensively researching your project or business, Ono Design Studio will organize that information and create the visual that best embodies your message.
Are you okay with your okay translated materials? Is your Japanese material as good as your original English material? Such a quality gap is often found in restaurant menus, brochures, store signage and the like. Ono Design Studio can create equally high quality materials in both English and Japanese. Writing and translation service is also available.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Visual content can be much more compelling than dry text. Ono Design Studio can create for you various types of visual materials, including illustrations, maps, information graphics and more. Style and colors will be selected taking into careful consideration the content and cultural context.
Are you fully satisfied with your current design outcomes? Do you feel “lost in translation” when you have a design talk with your team even though you speak the same language? Many companies and organizations are struggling with ways to break their tunnel vision. Being subjective is not easy especially if you are in the same circle for a long time. You see things differently when you look through an outsider’s perspective. Let me be the third person to see your project with fresh eyes.
From a tiny business card to a huge store sign, a simple restaurant menu to whole store branding.
Please do not hesitate to inquire about your project with Ono Design Studio regardless of size.
