Akiko Kanna

StudioKanna is a graphic design studio specialised in corporate identity and print design. Over the past fifteen years, I've been establishing my design perspective by studying what I am interested into and how much my idea can adapt to different ideas of people who are interested in my design. My journey of different city lifestyles and cultures has helped me to understand how people enjoy "design" in different ways and how to achieve their goals, which differs from city to city and from client to client. I believe the most important thing for a graphic designer is to give the answer to each client with fresh concepts but there have to be appropriate solutions for their needs. Conveying the information with a clear visual message is the key for what we do, alongside figuring out what is the most important message avoiding confusion due to different cultural values. My approach is always based on finding simple but meaningful solutions for communication needs. That is because I believe I am established internationally thanks to my design perspective which values diversity such as I have experienced. I am also open to communicate with clients which helps my design to be unique. Design world has so much potential but it is also very wide and I believe that focusing on communication can be crucial to achieve success in this overloaded information age, and this is why I believe simplicity is important. I do enjoy being close to people in order to find new communication methods and I am interested in pursuing self-initiated projects, collaborating with others, organizing exhibitions, and pursuing design solutions for localization and regional development with local communities. My journey is not over yet and I want to be open for many opportunities. Every country and every city has elements of design style, but I don't necessarily need to follow or be influenced by that in order to do business in that environment. I always strive to be neutral and flexible in the design point of view, so I can adapt and be competitive in new environmental and design situations.
