02 / About

I'M MAX KATZ,
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNER
& CONCEPT ARTIST

I work at the intersection of experimental design and concept art — turning raw ideas into tangible realities. Whether it's a fully immersive installation or a clothing brand built from scratch, my process always starts the same way, with a vision that doesn't exist yet.

From hand-built environments to 3D-rendered apparel concepts, every project I take on is an exercise in pushing imagination past its limits.

Project 01 — 2024 — Immersive Installation

BOTANICAL
WONDERLAND

About the Project

What happens when you take an ordinary institutional corridor and refuse to let it stay that way? Botanical Wonderland transformed a rec center hallway into a fully immersive garden — every wall, ceiling, and surface covered in layered tissue paper, silk florals, and hand-crafted paper sculptures.

Every inch was intentional. Green walls of layered tissue and ivy crept floor to ceiling. Paper flowers in every size bloomed from walls and doorframes. Hanging wisteria cascaded from above while custom teal-lit panels shifted the entire atmosphere of the space.

THE GOAL WAS NEVER TO DECORATE THE SPACE.
IT WAS TO MAKE PEOPLE FORGET THEY WERE IN ONE.

Project 02 — 2024 — Brand Concept

8TH DIMENSION
APPAREL

About the Project

8th Dimension Apparel started as a question: what if clothing could feel like a different dimension? The concept pushed past standard streetwear into something tactile and conceptual — patterns drawn from thermal maps, topographic lines, and contour data translated into wearable form.

Every stage of development was hands-on. From Procreate concept sketches to hand-cut fabric stitched directly onto hoodies, to full 3D Blender renders exploring colorways and silhouettes — this project bridges digital design and physical craft.

THE DESIGN STARTS ON PAPER.
BUT IT ONLY BECOMES REAL WHEN YOU WEAR IT.

Project 03 — 2024 — Immersive Installation

NO PLACE
LIKE HOME

About the Project

The holidays are about warmth — and that was the brief we wrote for ourselves. No Place Like Home transformed a rec center corridor into a fully immersive holiday living room, complete with string lights, garland, wrapped gifts, and a hand-built cardboard fireplace that glowed red from the inside.

Every element was fabricated from scratch. The fireplace — complete with stockings, candles, and a bow — was constructed and painted entirely from cardboard. String lights ran the full length of the ceiling while garland wrapped every surface, turning an institutional hallway into something that felt unmistakably like home.
