Brand strategy and identity design for the weird, wonderful businesses with a lot of heart.
I'm the founder of KyoLou Studio, and I've spent the better part of a decade thinking about what makes a brand feel genuinely alive.
My foundation is in Communication Design, and over seven-plus years as a senior graphic designer I worked across fast-paced marketing agencies and in-house teams, on everything from global packaging to founder-led brand identities. Brands ranging from household names to scrappy startups, and the bar was always the same: every touchpoint had to earn its place.
I went independent in 2025, and now I bring everything I learned directly to the founders who need it most. Not diluted through layers of account management. Just the thinking, the craft, and the work, all of it made by a human hand.
Before anything is designed, I work out what's genuinely true about your business. Your purpose, your positioning, your story, and what makes you worth choosing. The visuals come from that. Which is why the brands I build tend to feel right, not just look good.
I work with:
Food, beverage and hospitality
Wellness and lifestyle
Creative studios and makers
Technology with a human side
Children's brands and experiences
Founders ready to build something that lasts
Outside the studio…
When I'm not designing, I'm usually somewhere outside. Hiking up a mountain to see the world from a new angle, walking dogs, or taking the long route home just to think. I cook proper meals for people I love. I bake things that don't always turn out perfectly but always disappear quickly.
