Today we are a global corporation that works in broader Asia, Europe, and North America. Our offices are in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Beijing. Our LA studio (NDCLA) was formed in 2022 by Daigo Daikoku. Guided by technology and a delicate, thorough Japanese aesthetic, we visualize the essence of brands and bring them to life through brand strategy, messaging and design. We highlight what makes each brand singular, while maintaining a level of flexibility that allows them to grow. We are rooted in opportunity, possibility, and community, and view every project as a dialogue that continues to evolve over time.
