While Looking for Something Else…
While organizing my work, I started gathering a few old logo designs.
What surprised me wasn’t the logos.
It was realizing how much of my design background had quietly followed me into everything I make.
The dresses.
The bags.
The illustrations.
The book.
Even LALATOWN itself.
Somewhere along the way, I stopped thinking of myself as a designer. I was too busy drawing, sewing, writing, painting, and building little worlds.
Then I found these.
Looking at them again, I realized that design never really left. It simply found new ways to appear.
These logos may look different from one another, but they all come from the same place:
A love for storytelling.
A belief that every place, every brand, and every idea has its own personality.
And a habit of turning ordinary things into little worlds.
Apparently, while building LALATOWN, I forgot that I studied design.
