  • An interview with: Yoh Nagao
  • I use my own experiences or episodes as a concept or theme.
  • The Design View: Yoh, how and when did you first get into design?
  • Yoh Nagao: I have always been influenced by many things from the US such as skateboarding, hip-pop, punk rock, street culture, t-shirts, skate deck art, posters, CD covers - anything really. All these influences started me off as a designer.
  • The Design View: How you would best describe your style of work?
  • Yoh Nagao: Pop and trippy, dark and edgy, fantasy world.
  • The Design View: Please tell us a bit about your personal studio?
  • Yoh Nagao: My studio is on the second floor of an old shop. It's a 40sq meters space that is still under construction and I am renovating it by myself. It's an own property so I can do anything what I want to it. Even after I have done so much work to it, it still needs a lot more. So when you traveling to Japan, please come visit to my studio and help with the renovation!
  • The Design View: Please tell us a bit about your clothing brand:"Yogurt"?
