Testimonials

“Taiyo Nagano designed, created and ran my websites for the “Back To Bedlam” and “All The Lost Souls” albums. When my record label took over my online media, Taiyo stayed on because he’s simply the best person I know in his field. I’ve always wanted my online profile to be creative and personal, and Taiyo is exactly that.”

James Blunt
Singer, Songwriter

“Taiyo Nagano & Tamassy have been our go to team for any website online help for over a decade. All the work we do at Bose Collins is creatively led & demands not just technical & professional excellence from our partners, but an innate understanding of design & aesthetics also. Not many web developers are able to bridge this gap. Tamassy do it brilliantly. We look forward to continuing our collaborations far into the future.”

Nin Bose
Creative Director, Bose Collins

“When we were launching an izakaya-inspired restaurant and bar in London, we wanted to work with a design team who understood our requirement for a contemporary brand with a retro feel. Tamassy Creative were the perfect partner as they educated us about mid-century Japanese design trends and then produced an eye-catching, original and fun visual identity. The core logo, menu designs, website and in-venue imagery worked seamlessly to create a distinctive, colourful image for our new business.”

“Working with Tamassy on building the new website on a completely new format was very engaging, knowing nothing about web design myself. They considered our requirements thoroughly and responded with great creativity and diligence, keeping us informed at every stage of the process. We receive regular comments on the design of the new site and are very pleased with the result. Many thanks.”

“When our gallery launched in 2014, it was essential for us to work with a digital design team who could completely understand our concept, and the clean, accessible aesthetic we were looking for. Tamassy have been incredibly helpful throughout, with their fresh and creative design ideas, and efficient maintenance of our website, which they continue to do to a very high professional standard. We are thrilled with our finished product, a design which is pleasing to the eye and easy to use.”
