About Us
Escentier is a creative studio
led by creators from Tokyo University of the Arts.
Escentier layers the image of sentier, French for "small path," with essential — a name that embodies the pursuit of what truly matters.
We carefully design the spaces where clients and creators intersect, assembling optimal solutions across video, music, and digital products (apps, web tools, and more).
Hidden within this name are also the echoes of ascent and tier — reflecting our commitment to continuously refining quality and our resolve to climb the staircase of craftsmanship one step at a time.
We accumulate prototypes and research born from the production floor, support serendipitous moments of creative thrill with robust systems, and deliver results — that is the team we strive to remain.
VISION
A world where every creator can unleash 100% of their potential,
and that output is 100% committed to business.
MISSION
Capture the excitement of the creators.
Never let a single spark of creative thrill go to waste.
VALUE
Solve human errors with systems.
Never leave the unknown unexplored.
Have the courage to discard ideas.
