Are you looking to help or reach foreigners in Japan? To explain in ways that they might more intuitively understand? We're happy to assist.
DesignforJapan
from an International Perspective
Skydea is a Japanese and English-speaking design team. We love to help bridge this unique culture and language with the West.
Cross-CulturalDesign&StrategyforWebsitesandMobileApps
Our experiences in working with Japan and the West inform our designs. We embrace cultural diversity and seek to bridge divides.
Empathy
Differentplace,differentlives
Understand your ideal customer — and how your product or service might fit into their lives. Our Japan team has lived and worked in Japan as well as Western countries (primarily the US), and can leverage that experience to bridge cultures.
Experiencial Tastes
DesignedtoBuildTrust
Japan is notable for often having, from a Westerner's perspective, "walls of text" on a website. But the need for solid communication and a sense of being "heard" is real. The most modern, compelling Japanese designs still tell the story, but sometimes simply in smaller font — and never over-explaining.
YourCreativePartner
(who knows what it's like to work in Japan)
We're expats. We know what it's like being a foreigner in Japan, and how tough it can be to integrate into a different culture. Our team of designers is keenly aware of the differences between Western UI design and local design styles.
We might be a good fit if you're any of these:
LookingtoEnterJapan

Testimonials
From past clients.
Skydea did everything from strategy to coding, and had excellent communication. They were not only fast but flexible, and we were able to massively improve our website's UX/UI and SEO. We're seeing SEO growth and it's only been a few months! We'd love to continue working together!
Skydea was the dream team to work with. We used Skydeas service to build our website for our new cafe, shop, and event space. Many elements of the business were not exactly fixed causing delays to our overall website development however they were patient, and understanding throughout the whole process while executing all of our wishes for the website. Skydea will find a way to get your website the way you want it, promptly and most importantly in great spirit.
This is the first time we’ve been able express ourselves so clearly.
We are happy with the outcome, having received a site that is not only visually appealing but also versatile and user-friendly, allowing us to easily create landing pages and effectively showcase the Ship&co App. Our heartfelt thanks to the Skydea team for their great work.
I'm delighted to share that our Tokyo Portfolio website has been thriving since its launch. The traffic has consistently been on an upswing, moving from nearly no visitors to a 30k views per month. We are aspiring to reach even higher goals.
They worked with genuine care, were always approachable, and consistently delivered high-quality output.
