Aisu.Studio is a Berlin based design consultancy by Dominik Heilig, focussing on playful visual identities & illustration founded in 2019.
Visual Identities
Easy to scale and maintain, but also open for participation and development to be fully own-able and lively.
Ideal for SMEs or medium sized events where several people need to access and work with a flexible design system without too many restrictions.
Illustration
Playful and catchy with a transparent development process for feedback and adjustments.
Ideal as a stand-alone, small editorial series or even illustrations systems for marketing campaigns or organisations.
The Network
Combine the experience of a vast network of professionals from all fields. Software engineers, photographers, merchandise producers, consultants, storytellers, AI scientists and many more.
Ideal for larger jobs without the baggage of a huge and costly agency.
The idea for Aisu.Studio emerged from the webcomic series AISU KURIMU ( Japanese for ice-cream) by Dominik Heilig,.
As people liked the little ice-cream character, it became the philosophy .
— Be ice-cream, my friend!
Playful, lighthearted, well-tempered and good ingredients.
