About:

crc.studio is a design & development studio based in Nantes, France. Founded in 2019 by Yoko Homareda and Rémi B. Loizeau, the studio crafts visual identities, websites, posters, books, packaging, and merchandise. Our work is driven by a strong sense of typography, composition, and materiality, exploring the intersection of print and digital, tradition and innovation, function and aesthetics.

Timeless design:

Art and design always reflect their time. Today, while globalization blurs cultural boundaries, the ecological crisis questions our consumption, and inclusivity reshapes social norms, trends move faster than ever. At crc.studio, we choose a different path: not against fashion, but beyond it. We create design that outlasts fleeting aesthetics, guided by clarity and functionality. Solutions built to stand the test of time.

Humans for Humans:

Each project is a custom-made piece, shaped through a careful and iterative process. Like artisans, we take the time to refine every detail. Thoughtful design that stays relevant and lasts.

Services & Practices:

  • Strategy

    Definition of the path between current reality and long-term vision. Analysis of organization, market context, competitors, and trends identifies key levers. Outcome is a precise positioning and narrative to align stakeholders and guide future actions. View projects.
  • Branding

    Strategic definition of brand positioning, voice, and visual systems. Builds coherent identities that function across print and digital touchpoints, ensuring consistency from stationery to global campaigns. View projects.

    Design of a cohesive visual language and scalable design system. Includes logo design, color palettes, typography, and comprehensive guidelines. Ensures a distinctive identity adaptable across all media. View projects.
  • Editorial Design

    Structuring information for print and digital publications. Applies layout, typography, and grid systems in strict adherence to the brand's design system. Focus on readability, hierarchy, and the tactile experience of the object for books, magazines, catalogs, and reports. View projects.
  • Type Design

    Design of custom typefaces and bespoke icon systems. Ranges from creating unique glyphs and pictograms to adjusting kerning and weight. Ensures text and symbols act as cohesive visual assets aligned with the brand's design system. View projects.

    Interface design (UI) focused on user experience (UX) and visual clarity. Defines wireframes, navigation paths, and high-fidelity mockups. The approach prioritizes accessibility, responsive behavior, and content hierarchy over decorative trends. View projects.
  • Web Development

    Technical implementation of digital interfaces with minimal resource consumption for maximum longevity. Clean, semantic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript prioritize performance, SEO, and cross-browser compatibility.
