Marina Kyan

From Okinawa, Japan

Hi, I’m Marina Kyan.

Living in Canada and Australia and studying hospitality management, I came to truly value the connections between people. Supporting others, and seeing people smile, is what keeps me going.

That feeling stays the same in my web work. The impression a color gives, or a single change in layout, can change how a message comes across — I use that power of design to give shape to what you want to say.

Whether you run a beauty business, want to reach people overseas, or are a company interested in Japan, please feel free to get in touch.

01 — DESIGN

Design that carries your message

I consider the impression each color gives and how things are placed, so your feelings come through in the design.

02 — USABILITY

Easy to use, and brings people in

Sites visitors can use without getting lost, that help bring customers in — and that you can easily update yourself.

03 — HOSPITALITY

Friendly, with care

I always make a point of listening carefully to what you want. Even if it’s your first website, please feel free to ask.

MESSAGE

Just as hospitality connects people,
I create websites that connect your heart with theirs.

Studying hospitality taught me that caring for someone shows in the smallest gestures. I believe websites are the same.

I put meaning into every color and every placement, so your message reaches people directly — and so visitors can find their way easily and comfortably.

For shops in Japan, and for people overseas who are drawn to Japan, I stay close to each client and build websites that carry your feelings beyond the language barrier.
