Description

Strategy-led visual identities for brands, spaces, and stories.

I’m Seiya, a Berlin-based graphic designer and art director working at the intersection of strategy, visual identities, and storytelling.

I help brands, cultural projects, and small businesses turn loose ideas into clear visual systems across identities, publications, websites, packaging, apparel, and physical spaces.

Previously, I led art direction and marketing for Japan Village in New York and have worked with studios and brands in the US, Japan, and Europe.

From first conversation to final delivery, I’m comfortable owning the full process: research, concept, design, and production-ready files.
