“Head in the clouds, feet on the ground”
Maïko Moreau works as a brand builder across design, music, and experience, shaping identity systems through cultural knowledge.
His practice focuses on aligning identity, visual language, content, and environments into a unified direction. Ideas move from concept to execution, with clarity and intent maintained across every aspect of a brand.
Maïko balances instinct with informed judgment. Cultural references are researched, edited, and translated into clear positioning, where aesthetic considerations guide each outcome. Trends are acknowledged but never lead, allowing his work to remain grounded and intentional.
Music programming, DJ work, and content creation express Maïko’s point of view through personal taste and curatorial perspective. These practices reflect his lived engagement with culture rather than observation, directly informing how he approaches brand work.
In every project, he maintains clear standards around visual quality, cultural accuracy, and coherence.
