木下スタジオ
N35° / E136°
Design that aligns the experience you mean to deliver with the one that actually lands.
Brand, web, product, hiring——
When the thinking doesn't come across, when the experience feels scattered,
I find that gap and set it right.
A studio in Shiga, Japan, built around UX/UI design
and the craft of experience.
Run entirely by Takahiro Kinoshita, alone.
Observing the experiences of the world and translating them — through sound, image and interface — into human sensation.
Kinoshita Studio observes experiences drawn from many fields — nature, the city, sound, the visual, the interface — and translates them into new experiences through design, sound and structure.
What is experience?
What is observation?
What is translation?
Research into sound and space.
Designing sonic experience through gagaku-techno.
Research into visual experience —
print, scan, noise.
Research through nature, ultralight and field observation.
BIWAKO SILENCE.
Research into experience design in UX / UI —
the gap between what lands and what does not.
Designing the moment a person feels something.
Starting from the human beyond the screen,
I make design that gets used.
Translating a brand's thinking
into an on-screen experience.
Design where whitespace speaks.
Setting the visual direction
and building one coherent world.
Graphics, photography, film.
Finding and aligning the gap between
the experience you intend and the one that lands.
From research to design, side by side.
Based in Shiga, Japan. For over ten years as a UX/UI designer,
I have designed the moment a person feels something.
From two axes — design and music —
my craft is translating experience.
