Amos Turner — Creative Direction for Music and Culture

Since cutting his teeth at Serato’s HQ in New Zealand back in 2012, Amos Turner has spent the past decade working at the fault line between sound and design. Having served as creative director for several critically acclaimed record labels while producing within the electronic underground himself, his work carries a rare balance of cultural fluency and strategic clarity.

Turner builds identities that do more than decorate, they position. Each project begins with a clear-eyed analysis of the landscape: who’s out there, what they represent, and where an artist can stake out space of their own. From there, he constructs full visual worlds — logos, typographic systems, artwork suites, merch — that can either amplify an artist’s persona or operate independently of it, turning names into icons.
