The man behind the madness
Hi, my name is Kilian Muster and I am the founder of Pixelblast, a design & creative communications studio based in Tokyo. As you can guess from my name, I wasn’t born here. I am a typographer from Germany, armed and dangerous with a
license to Gill™ (sans).
Pixelblast goes beyond design as superficial make-up. We make it part of the whole communication process. We offer Web and interactive services, information design, UI design, usability, internet strategy and branding and above all a user-centric mindset. We cover most media, with a focus on new media.
We not only design things, we also help companies fix their communication, analyse the usability and user experience on their e-commerce sites and simply make things work for you and your customers.
Design is not how it looks, it’s how it works.
—Steve Jobs
Expertise in Japan
We’ve been in Japan for more than a decade. Being tri-lingual (German, English, Japanese) we know the cultural nuances and differences, so when adapting existing websites to Japan, we adapt them to the culture not just the language.
We can help build new processes and expand your communication to new media, in ways you might have never thought of.
We mean business
We have expertise in setting up and running large scale e-commerce sites here in Japan. We do consulting with large international brands to improve their e-commerce user experience and usability, help them adjust to technical and cultural circumstances in Japan.
We can take a deeper look into conversion rates, click through rates and drop-off pages and find the causes for bad performance.
