Merch Collaboration

I can help you create merch that actually sells

I collaborate with cafés, surf shops, and local businesses to design artist-led merchandise that people actually want to buy.

Instead of standard logo merch, I create illustrated products that reflect the personality of a place — pieces that feel like wearable art, collectible souvenirs, and meaningful reminders of the spaces people love.

Merchandise can be one of the most effective and low-risk revenue streams for local businesses because it:

• Creates an additional income stream beyond your core service

• Acts as free marketing when customers wear or use your merchandise

• Doesn’t expire like food or beverage products

• Builds community and loyalty around your brand

• Creates souvenirs that people take home and remember your space by

When done well, merch becomes more than a product — it becomes part of the experience of your space.

Why Illustration?

The merchandise that tends to move fastest isn’t just branded products with a business name on them.

People are drawn to designs that capture the personality of a place — something that reflects the culture, humor, or vibe of the space.

Illustration allows businesses to create merchandise that feels like:

• wearable art
• collectible pieces
• souvenirs that hold meaning

Instead of simply advertising a business, the merch becomes something customers genuinely want to own.

Interested in exploring merch for your space?

My goal is to collaborate with intentional cafés, surf shops, boutiques, and local spaces to create merchandise that reflects their personality and actually moves off the shelf.

I love helping great businesses create products that customers feel excited to wear and take home.

If you’re looking for a merch designer to help create custom apparel, stickers, prints, or retail products that resonate with both locals and visitors, I’d love to collaborate.
