Hey there! 

I m Mako, independent designer and Art director based in Berlin.

once my favorite artist mentioned (Sagmeister): If you ever called a company and got a machine to take your call, for english press 1, etc., you instantly recognize the inherent utter stupidity of the modernist approach to communication: The Bauhaus wanted to celebrate machines in communication because they were sick of the historicisms of the 19th century and wanted to create something new for new times. In 2015, if you communicate pretending to be a machine (i.e. use lots of white space, set everything in 8 point Helvetica next to a bleeding stock photo) you are not just stupid but also a bore. You might pretend to be an answering machine when picking up the phone. 

 

My cross-cultural approach to design has allowed me to work in many different fields, including - design - fashion - print - film - photography - product design

 

if you want create something crazy, smart and creative for your brand, you are on the right path!
