IKEA: graphics made for the store.

I create custom graphics and templates for IKEA’s visual merchandising, interior design and sales teams. The work spans original artwork, adapting supplied brand assets, printing and vinyl application.

TIMELINEApril 2025–present

SCOPECustom artwork, templates & production

Three framed jersey illustrations in an IKEA bedroom display, with custom names, numbers and colors. — My jersey artwork, printed on polypropylene paper and displayed in a room setting.

01 / CUSTOM ARTWORK

Drawn, printed, framed.

For these framed jerseys, I drew the graphics and printed them on polypropylene paper.

02 / CARPENTRY HANDOFF

A stencil another team could build from.

I created the stencils for the meerkat houses in this children’s display and handed them to carpentry to cut out.

A blue children’s display with wooden meerkat-house shapes below a tree canopy. — My part: the meerkat-house stencils. Carpentry cut the pieces shown here.

03 / PRODUCTION SOLUTION

When the lettering wouldn’t stick.

THE PROBLEM

The kitchen-organizers wall called for cut vinyl lettering, but the small letters would not stick.

THE CHANGE

I printed the text on an adhesive-vinyl panel and matched its background color to the wall.

Kitchen organizers display with a printed information panel whose pale background is matched to the surrounding wall. — The kitchen-organizers panel, with its printed background matched to the wall.

WORKING WITH THE STORE TEAMS

Different requests. A graphic that works in the space.

Visual merchandisers, interior designers and sales teams come to me for custom work. I create the templates and graphics they need, using supplied IKEA graphics where needed.
