One studio.
Four crafts.

I'm William Gibson, and Tiki-Island is my workshop. Brand identity, illustration, web builds, and game design — handled end to end by the same person, so nothing gets lost in the handoff.

What I do

Four crafts that keep feeding each other

The illustration sharpens the branding. The branding tightens the game art. The game work keeps the code honest. Hire any one of them, or all four.

Graphic Design

Identity work that survives contact with the real world — signage, packaging, merch, and the rules that keep it consistent.

  • Logos & brand identity
  • Print & packaging
  • Merch and apparel art
  • Brand guidelines

Illustration

Character-driven, heavily rendered artwork — the same hand that carved the tiki above, pointed at whatever you need drawn.

  • Character & mascot design
  • Editorial illustration
  • Game and key art
  • Spot art & icon sets

Web Development

Fast, accessible sites built on modern frameworks — not page-builder sludge. Designed and coded by the same person.

  • Marketing sites & landing pages
  • Headless CMS integration
  • Web apps & dashboards
  • Performance & accessibility audits

Game Design

Systems, economies, and the loops that hold them together — plus the art and UI that make them readable at a glance.

  • Systems & economy design
  • Prototyping
  • Game UI/UX
  • Art direction

Current project

Ironsound

A simulation/strategy game set across 62 islands in an uncharted archipelago. Two fleets, one chain of islands, and a supply line that decides everything.

Tiki-Island Identity

2026

Illustration · Brand Identity

The studio's own mark — a carved tiki built from layered wood grain, jungle foliage, and hand-lettered signage, drawn to survive being shrunk to a favicon.
