Just as I create visual concepts for spaces, I also develop imagery for products, materials, and surfaces – whether it’s a silk scarf, a book cover, a kimono, a wine label, or custom packaging. Each object brings its own form, function, and texture, which become integral parts of the creative process. I often respond directly to these characteristics – for example, by working on the actual pattern layout of a garment like a kimono, so that image and shape grow together.
Each commission begins with a story: the background You bring, the material You choose, and the context in which the product will live. All of this becomes the foundation for a carefully developed motif.
You can choose to work with the design alone or commission the full realization of the product. In those cases, I collaborate with trusted partners – from printers to tailors to packaging specialists – to ensure high-quality execution and material coherence throughout.
Visual Concept Development
Motif development starts with a detailed conversation: What is the purpose, what are the requirements, and what effect is desired? Should brand elements be included? Do You need a design file or a finished product? Once these questions are clear, the creative process begins.
Preparing for Production
When a design is to be realized – as a screen print, product label, or packaging element – technical aspects flow into the process. Material, scale, and printability are considered early on. Test prints help ensure that motif, material, and technique work together before final production begins.
Production and Supervision
Whether screen printing, labeling, or packaging, I oversee the production to ensure precision and quality. Materials and techniques create unique effects influenced by color and texture. Focus and close collaboration with skilled partners guarantee the best results.
