VRiD Design Studio was a design consultancy that Von Robinson and I created after graduating from Parsons School of Design. Over the course of 11 years, we designed signature Swiss watches, furniture, corporate and residential interior architecture, packaging, and lighting for a global client base including the Rado Watch Co., Moroso, Frighetto, Island/Def Jam Recordings, Estée Lauder, Universal Music Group, Idée Japan, and the Hamilton Watch Co.
This is a small sampling of our work.
