Design for the Next Industrial Revolution
Biology-driven design solutions and concept art.
YAMi offers design consulting services to help design teams and companies develop sustainable, nature-inspired solutions and near-future innovations that are both environmentally grounded and technologically forward-looking. Our work bridges science, design, and speculation, delivering ideas that are visionary yet feasible—designed to help organizations think longer-term, innovate responsibly, and design in alignment with the planet. Each collaboration is customized to the needs of the client, ranging from strategic research and concept development (short-term projects) to design direction and early-stage prototyping (long-term projects). My role can adapt—from external consultant to embedded research partner—depending on the scale and ambition of the project.

Services extend beyond conventional design consulting and function as an advanced R&D team on demand. This offering is tailored for small to mid-size design teams, startups, and companies that do not have the resources to maintain in-house research labs but want access to cutting-edge thinking, experimentation, and near-future concept development.

BioPunk Concept Art & Futures Visualization applies rigor and creativity to create research-informed concept art for the entertainment industry. In the lineage of Syd Mead and Daniel Simon, this practice translates emerging biotechnological research into plausible visual worlds, living systems, grown architectures, symbiotic technologies, and speculative ecologies—not as strategy or product direction, but as grounded, research-informed concept art that expands narrative possibility while remaining scientifically literate.
