Design Services
Above Second bridges contemporary art and commercial design — translating artist works into branding, packaging, product collaborations, and cross-over projects with forward-thinking brands. We bring the same curatorial eye to design that we bring to gallery walls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use existing artworks for my brand?
Yes. We facilitate licensing of existing works from our represented artists, or commission new pieces tailored to your brand's identity and product needs.
What's the difference between licensing and a collaboration?
Licensing grants usage rights to reproduce an existing artwork on products or materials. A collaboration is a co-created project where the artist develops new work specifically for your brand.
Do you handle production?
We manage the creative and art direction side — from concept through final design files. For physical production (printing, manufacturing), we work with your existing vendors or recommend trusted partners.
