Print Design for ASML x A Fish Named Fred Collaboration – Branded Workwear with Global Reach

Project Details

This project wasn’t just about creating a textile print — it was about designing for a moment where global tech, Dutch fashion, and workplace culture collided.

I was brought in to design a custom print pattern for a unique collaboration between A Fish Named Fred, the colorful Dutch fashion brand, and ASML, one of the world’s most important tech companies.

The result? A bold, pattern-driven shirt design that incorporated the ASML logo into a wearable, fun, and stylish format — created for internal use by ASML employees and visitors at their offices.

Who Is ASML?

ASML is a global tech leader based in the Netherlands and is one of the most critical companies in the world for the future of technology.

  • They make the machines that make microchips — specifically, photolithography systems used in advanced semiconductor manufacturing
  • Their technology powers devices from smartphones to electric vehicles to AI processors
  • They work with top companies like Intel, TSMC, Samsung, and are essential to the entire global chip supply chain

ASML is often described as "the most important tech company you’ve never heard of" — until now.

The Collaboration

In a unique move, ASML partnered with A Fish Named Fred to design limited-edition fashion-forward work shirts — something bold, modern, and different from typical corporate wear.

And that’s where I came in.

My task: design a custom, brand-safe print that integrated the ASML logo into a repeatable pattern that was playful, clean, and true to the Fred aesthetic.

ASML Print + Button Up Shirt

My Contribution

  • Created a bespoke stripe pattern incorporating the ASML logo in subtle, clever ways
  • Balanced corporate identity with lifestyle design language
  • Designed with fabric production and shirt construction in mind — ensuring alignment, repeat clarity, and wearability
  • Delivered production-ready assets to Fred’s apparel team for sampling, cutting, and final runs

The shirts were used:

  • Internally by ASML staff
  • As a gift for visitors and new employees
  • To boost workplace culture through bold, high-quality branded fashion

Why This Project Matters

✔️ Cross-industry collaboration — Tech x Fashion x Brand Culture
✔️ Worked with a global leader (ASML has a €300B+ market cap)
✔️ Designed for real-world use, not just marketing
✔️ Helped reframe what “branded clothing” can be — smart, fun, and truly wearable

What I Learned

This wasn’t just a design win — it was proof that design can connect worlds. I saw how visual creativity can bring life to a high-tech workplace, and how a smart pattern can carry a global identity without shouting.

  • It strengthened my understanding of brand-safe design for internal culture
  • Showed me how fashion can humanize corporate identity
  • Reinforced how design can be a connector between very different industries
