Eko Hayashi is an independent design practice founded in 2016 by a designer born in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, in 1992. After graduating from Musashino Art University in 2016, the founder became independent and now runs the practice remotely from Matsumoto, Japan, postal code 390-0221.
The practice employs fewer than 49 people. Its minimum project budget and average hourly rate are listed as "Inquire" on DesignRush, so prospective clients request pricing directly. The official website is ekohayashi.com.
Eko Hayashi focuses on graphic design, with portfolio work spanning package design and rebranding. Notable projects include the WARA STRAW straw project in Hinohara Village, Tokyo; the package design for Canelé Yokan at Inoue Saryo in Hyogo Prefecture; and the rebranding of the Suginomori brewery restoration project in Naraijuku, Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture.
The designer pursues design as a device for creating culture, and independent production projects run alongside client commissions. Clients shown on the profile include divers, kura, and CANELE YOKAN, with activity concentrated in food and beverage and cultural sectors.
The DesignRush profile includes three portfolio images but no client reviews or Google rating, so a rating-based assessment is not available. The practice maintains an Instagram presence at @hayashi.eko.
