Kokeshi set out to turn recycled Japanese textiles into a contemporary luxury fashion brand, with the budget of a startup rather than an established label. I developed the brand concept, Beautiful Violence, contrasting refined craftsmanship with samurai culture: heritage, strength, and rebellion within a high-fashion visual world. To bring that vision to life before physical production, I used AI to rapidly create high-end visuals and films defining the brand's aesthetic and storytelling, giving Kokeshi the presence and polish of an established luxury label from day one.
The way the fluid, intricate textile textures wrap around those sharp, rigid armor elements perfectly captures that "Beautiful Violence" tension. It gives the entire digital concept a really grounded, tactile weight.
Sick work!
"Beautiful Violence" as the concept name is doing a lot of work here, that red/blue clash with the samurai mask imagery actually earns it. Using AI to pre-visualize the whole brand world before a single physical sample exists is such a smart way to sell a concept on a startup...
You nailed it!

Daze coffee brand identity: warm cream and deep brown, four-leaf clover mark and full touchpoint system. Contra content in your narrative format:
Some brands make you want a coffee. Daze makes you want to stay a while.
The identity was built around warmth deep espresso brown, soft cream, and a four-leaf clover mark that feels lucky without trying too hard. Established 2025. Here's to better days.
The real challenge with café branding isn't the logo. It's making sure the identity holds across every surface a customer touches coasters, takeaway cups, cup carriers, outdoor menus, storefront signage, and the back of a t-shirt someone wears out of love, not obligation. Every touchpoint was designed to feel like it belongs to the same world.
The cup carrier says it best. "Here's to better days." That line does more brand work than any tagline on a wall ever could.
This is what café branding looks like when every detail is considered from the stamp on the coaster to the logo on the awning.
Does this make you want to order a coffee? 👇
