Consulting
One studio, one plan, one market at a time.
Private consulting for Japanese stationery brands preparing a serious international launch, wholesale relationship or pricing overhaul.
Consulting is for the moment when general advice stops being enough — a retailer has asked for a line sheet, your shipping costs are eating the margin, or you're deciding whether to open a U.S. storefront at all.
We work through your actual numbers, products and messages, and leave you with a written plan you can act on without us.
