Muzo Studio
From Design Dreams to Restaurant Reality
Mika Kanayama is the creative force behind Muzo, an award-winning INTERIOR DESIGN studio in London’s vibrant Walthamstow. Since 2018, Mika has been transforming restaurants, bars, cafes and cinemas into captivating spaces that tell unique stories. With her distinctive JAPANESE heritage and British design education, she brings a fresh perspective to every project, whether it’s crafting the perfect ambiance for a cosy café or reimagining a historic cinema.
Finding Digital Direction
Like many creative businesses, Muzo had brilliant designs but needed help SHOWCASING them to the world. The studio was ready to grow, but something was missing.
I knew I needed to improve my online presence to attract new clients, but I wasn’t quite sure how to articulate what made Muzo special.
Working with our Toyin, Mika embarked on a transformative journey to boost Muzo’s digital presence. We didn’t just scratch the surface – we dived deep into website architecture, SEO strategies, and digital brand consistency. From mastering Google Analytics to building meaningful industry connections, every step was tailored to Muzo’s unique position in the market.
Onwards and Up helped Mika develop that all-important confident mindset (because let’s face it, running a business isn’t just about the technical bits). Together, we crafted targeted strategies to reach relevant clients and position Muzo as the go-to studio for specialist Japanese restaurant design concepts.
The transformation has been brilliant. Muzo’s enhanced digital presence now acts as a powerful lead generator, showcasing stunning projects like Hot Stone, London, The Garden Cinema in Covent Garden, and the charming Armstrong Audio Coffee Shop near Blackhorse Road tube station.
Confidence To Build A Strong Future
With a strengthened brand identity and growing portfolio, Muzo is focused on what they do best, creating extraordinary spaces that blend Japanese aesthetics with British creativity. The studio is actively collaborating with local businesses, proving that sometimes the best opportunities are right on your doorstep.
Working with Onwards and Up helped me understand not just the ‘how’ of digital marketing, but the ‘why’ behind every decision. Now I have the confidence to showcase Muzo’s unique approach to design, and the tools to reach the right clients.
