Frank Renaissance is a U.S. and Japan-based record label and production studio aimed at launching Japanese hip-hop artists to the global stage. Partnering artists include: KM, Daichi Yamamoto, Tokyo Young Vision, Wes Period, (sic)boy, Osteoleuco, and more. 

As a creative intern, I designed a diverse range of collateral for track releases and social promotions, including album art covers, carousel cards, video thumbnails and more. I worked across American and Japanese partners through multiple track release campaigns.

Playlists

Frank Renaissance & Friends was made to highlight different Japanese hip-hop artists each month. To accompany playlist drops, I designed IG carousel cards to introduce featured artists through illustration and bite-sized information in English & Japanese. 











Cover Redesign

Frank Renaissance released the “A-Team’s Fables Remix”, with US-based rapper Ben Beal joining the original crew. I redesigned the original album cover, using the original characters by artist Lorien Stern.
