APPAREL + MERCHANDISE DESIGN
What you put on a shirt tells the world something about who you are. It starts a conversation. It carries your story into rooms you will never walk into yourself.
At Albatross Art House, we creat hand-drawn , intentional apparel and merchandise design that makes your brand wearable, memorable, and unmistakably yours - from concept all the way to sending it to print.
WE LOVE APPAREL DESIGN.
Apparel design is where my creative life began and it is still the work that makes me feel most fully myself.
There is something about a hand-drawn graphic on a shirt that carries the maker’s intention into the world. Someone wears it. A stranger asks about it. A conversation begins. That is design doing exactly what is was meant to do: connecting people through something beautiful.
From nonprofits literally changing the world to collections that ended up at Anthropologie, Albatross Art House brings the same depth of care to every project, whatever the scale.
INTENTIONAL APPAREL DESIGN
From concept to print - we know every step.
A lot of designers hand you beautiful files and leave you to figure out production on your own. Albatross Art House does not work that way.
We walk alongside of you from the first idea all the way through the printer handoff because we have been doing this long enough to know exactly what goes wrong and how to prevent it. You focus on your vision. We handle everything else.
