studio SWISH is a DIY studio + communication design practice c/o Will Howell exploring brand development and product around lifestyle, music, and sport
When asked about her work, Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo, summarized her process beautifully with one monostich: “My energy comes from freedom and a rebellious spirit.”
This philosophy and lifestyle is something I have tried to embody with my DIY studio and contemporary art practice. By leaning into experimentation, I have grown to appreciate cross-pollinating mediums such as painting, illustration, graphic design, motion graphics, and sound. With studio
S W I S H, I aspire to establish a brand that embodies free thought & creative problem solving. With the ultimate vision of influencing popular
culture and driving modern society forward.
Will Howell is a black visual artist, designer, and Dj who embodies a multidisciplinary approach towards creative problem solving. After a decision to study art & design instead of pursuing basketball in college, Will landed at Parsons School of Design (NY) and simultaneously established a brand titled studio S W I S H; with the initial ethos of sharing his ideas his community around him. As an artist, Will thrives off of experimentation and the cross-pollinating of mediums; including painting, photography, illustration, product design, motion, and sound. For the past few years Will has been able to produce creative content under studio S W I S H, host art exhibitions, and collaborate with other young creatives between Washington D.C., Miami, and New York City; who like himself find comfort in the DIY approach to modern contemporary art-making.
