Problem & Solution
Shaping clarity from complexity

The primary challenge was to effectively communicate Ajinomoto Group Ventures’ positioning — “Investing at the frontiers of aminoscience” — across multiple complex domains, including healthcare, food & wellness, ICT and green technologies. The website needed to present deep scientific innovation in a way that is clear, structured and engaging, while maintaining a strong, premium brand presence for a global biotech-focused VC fund.

I designed a high-impact, clarity-driven Webflow experience that translates complexity into a cohesive visual system. Through structured layouts, typography-led design and subtle motion, I created a digital presence that organizes diverse innovation areas into a unified narrative, ensuring the brand is both memorable and easy to understand for investors, founders and partners.

Expressing Culture and Approach

The challenge was to translate Ajinomoto Group Ventures’ culture and investment philosophy into a structured and visually engaging system.

The fund operates at the intersection of science, corporate partnerships and long-term innovation, requiring a design approach that communicates both credibility and clarity across multiple touchpoints.I designed a modular, grid-based layout that presents key investment areas, expertise and collaborations in a cohesive and intuitive way. Each section - from transformative industries to corporate partnerships and technical capabilities - is organized into clear, digestible blocks, supported by strong typography and balanced visual hierarchy.

This approach creates a seamless narrative that reflects the fund’s disciplined, science-driven mindset while maintaining a premium and accessible user experience. The result is a digital system that not only informs, but reinforces the brand’s culture of precision, innovation and long-term impact.

Mobile Experience
Immersion on
every device

The experience was designed with full immersion across every device in mind. Built using fluid layouts and responsive units, the interface adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes while preserving visual hierarchy, clarity and motion.

From desktop to mobile, the design maintains its precision and impact - ensuring a consistent, high-quality experience that feels native, intuitive and visually refined on every display.

Problem & Solution
Crafting 3D through
AI systems

To visually express the scientific depth of aminoscience, I developed a series of custom 3D visuals using a combination of AI tools, including Midjourney, Nano Banana Pro and Higgsfield.

The challenge was to create imagery that feels both technically precise and visually distinctive, while remaining fully aligned with the brand’s minimal and premium aesthetic. By combining multiple AI systems, I was able to generate cohesive 3D compositions focused on macro-level detail - textures, structures and organic forms inspired by biotechnology.

The result is a unique visual language that blends scientific abstraction with high-end execution, reinforcing the brand’s innovation-driven identity and creating a memorable, future-oriented digital experience.
