The +81 3 collection from Timberland is a limited-edition line that merges Japanese craftsmanship with American workwear heritage. I was the lead brand designer, responsible for developing the collection’s visual identity, logo system, and packaging design to reflect the premium positioning and cultural fusion at the heart of the campaign.

I drew inspiration from archival Americana and traditional Japanese aesthetics to craft a bold yet minimal identity system. The logo and packaging balanced contemporary simplicity with rich material cues, reinforcing the collection’s narrative of durability, craftsmanship, and cultural intersection.
