Haruko Designs keeps in mind the theory that employees and students wearing uniforms display an increased level of pride and productivity in both themselves and their work or school. Haruko creates a "one of a kind" image in textile and apparel design to fit a client's business concept. Haruko's design will compliment a client's public image. The architectural exterior and interior as well as color and form are considered for the final creation which Haruko likes to think of as "the interior in motion".
