Ideas made
visible.

I'm Raiden Lau, a graphic designer focused on branding, editorial, and visual identity. I create bold, thoughtful work built around clear ideas and strong visual communication.

Here's a selection of projects that represent my approach to design, from identity and editorial work to creative experimentation.

Who am I

I'm a graphic designer from New Zealand, with a growing practice across brand communication, editorial design, and visual identity. I'm drawn to creating work that balances strong ideas with thoughtful execution, using design to communicate clearly while still having personality.

My approach has developed through high school, university study, professional studio experience at Storybox NZ, and an ongoing mix of personal projects and creative experimentation. Each stage has shaped the way I think about identity, storytelling, and visual communication, while giving me the space to explore new styles, challenge my process, and continue developing my own perspective as a designer.
