about

maison blanc is a culture studio run by jozef, working between new zealand and california. it exists because the interesting work happens where subculture meets strategy, and most agencies only live on one side of that line.

the studio was built as an alternative to scale: one person, a small roster, a short list of projects, and everything made from first principles. jozef has worked across legal tech, music tech, and brand systems, launching tools, labels, and cultural experiments that stretch from the underground to the boardroom.

whether it's software, a campaign, or an artist's career, the throughline is the same: creative infrastructure that helps ideas take form, find language, and land in the right hands.
