Johnnie Walker x LOVE Creative Agency
As part of their design of a new ‘experience space’ in Shanghai for whisky brand Johnnie Walker, creative agency LOVE created a series of commemorative edition bottles, referencing the Chinese decorative style of blue and white porcelain. In LOVE’s first project for Diageo Asia, the Manchester-based agency worked with interior designers, Asylum, on the look of the Johnnie Walker House which is set to open in Shanghai. The four story house will be used to market Scottish whisky to Chinese consumers and tell the story of the brand’s history through interactive installation made from materials used in the whisky-making process.

HBTV: A Look Inside Michael Lau’s Workspace in Hong Kong
Michael Lau has been a long time idol of mine for his design work from some of the first vinyl figurines I bought to working with such brands as Nike. In this interview, you get to see where the magic happens as he takes you through his new workspace. As a fellow Hong Kong resident, he makes some great points about working and living in Hong Kong and how it affects your design and scale.
I hope to visit it soon.

Bond St. Grooves Mixtape
Message / When Sweetu Patel, owner of the Bond Street boutique C’H’C’M’ (of Manhattan) reached out to me as a fellow lover of music, with the idea of collaborating on a mix for his shop…I answered with a quick YES! I appreciated his mutual love for good music, as well as the amazing product he carries in his shop. At C’H’C’M’, you can find classic, timeless garments for everyday use, as well as accessories, bags, shoes, etc. We settled on the idea of a 70′s/80′s feel-good mix to parallel the nice weather we’ll be getting soon.
