What collaborators say
Remi gave our bakery a personality people literally line up for. Customers still send us photos of their boxes, and the characters have become part of the neighborhood.
Aiko Tanabe
Founder, Mochi Mochi Bakery
A rare mix of wild imagination and total reliability. Every deadline met, every detail considered, and the work made our whole team braver.
Marcus Bell
Creative Director, Kumo Creative
The poster series is the most shared thing we've ever made. Fans peeled posters off the walls to take home, which we've decided to take as a compliment.
