How this studio all started →
It's all ABOUT the stories that surround us. This story began on Valentine's Day at a place called KOKOMO...
“We are devoted to design and love to tell stories. We care about our inner child, are curious and try to enjoy it all. And if it doesn’t sound like fun, we are not doing it. Because time is precious - yours and ours.
We are a small, independent and flexible studio/agency/team - by choice. Because we only do projects we believe in, that challenge us and that we want to fully commit to. We believe in collaborating, always strive for more diversity of thought so we are able to think of new angles.
With backgrounds in architecture, product design, fashion, marketing and performing arts our core team brings experience from right across the creative spectrum.
Yet we constantly identify people from visionary networks to work and play with us. Because bringing the right people together, guiding interactions between them and envisioning new playgrounds - this is, what we do best.
We think outside the box, because a beaten track has never led to new horizons. Ever. So if you want to stay in your comfort zone, don’t ask us to join. Because we won’t.”
ABOUTKOKOMO is the brainchild of Grit and Guy combining creativity, knowledge and years of experience in the industry.
Guy has a keen sense of what resonates in terms of pop culture - be it sneakers, visionary communities, design, music or sports. Reading and analyzing the signs as culture shifts and translating this knowledge into relevant contemporary concepts, strategies and experiences is inherent and comes naturally. Also Guy is a geek when it comes to new technologies and gadgets. He embraces innovation and is always in the know of the latest shit in Apps, VR or AI. Try him.
Grit’s expertise in fashion and live performances has come a long way since her professional career started as a dancer and choreographer. Working on and behind the stage for many years led her to creating and executing shows in the arts and fashion world. Having worked internationally for big name brands like Hugo Boss, Joop, adidas or H&M she always kept her poetic sensibility and theatrical vein.
We don't keep it strictly professional: our kids are our biggest inspiration and the best time management system ever. As 9-5 doesn't work for us, we are dedicated to a very fluid, nomadic lifestyle that makes it possible to work whenever from wherever - to give plenty of room for playing, working and exploring new horizons.
