ABOUT KARLO
Karlo Bueno Bello is a Hawai‘i-based designer developing AI-assisted prints, surface concepts, and visual worlds for fashion, interiors, objects, and retail environments. His practice combines digital exploration, textile CAD, graphic design, and 3D visualization to turn early ideas into polished concepts with a tactile, painterly sensibility.
With more than 20 years of experience in the New York fashion industry, Karlo has created prints and graphics for brands and studios including SOMA, Victoria’s Secret, LOFT, Old Navy, Urban Outfitters, DKNY Jeans, Eyedazzler Textile Studio, KENZO, and Printfresh. His work spans original pattern development, production-ready repeats, visual merchandising concepts, soft goods, wallcoverings, and interior visualization.
Raised in Hawai‘i and trained in fine art, textile design, and interiors, Karlo brings a layered point of view to every project: commercially fluent, culturally curious, and excited by the space where technology, taste, and storytelling meet.
ON AI + PROCESS
AI is part of my design practice, not something I hide from. I use it as a tool for fast visual exploration, world-building, and concept development, then refine the work through taste, editing, CAD, repeat logic, color, and production experience. The goal is not to make work feel automated. The goal is to create surfaces and visuals that feel alive, tactile, and intentional.
