Hiro — The Venetian

I was brought on early in the development of Hiro, a Japanese restaurant at The Venetian Macau, to help shape the visual story, characters and world behind the space, leading to a large-scale installation and bespoke digital ordering artwork throughout the restaurant experience.

CONTEXT

The project needed a rich narrative world that could support the restaurant’s identity, from the physical environment through to the digital ordering experience.

APPROACH

Working with Art Advisory and Sands, I created four original characters and a cohesive illustrated world, leading to a 60-foot installation and bespoke digital artwork.
