I’m Gonzalo Hermida, an architect and exhibition/event designer based in Tokyo, focused on creating immersive brand experiences for trade shows, stages, and installations. I founded Hermida Studio to translate client concepts into clear space planning, compelling presentation boards, and photoreal 3D visuals that are ready for build.
With 10+ years of experience, I lead end-to-end projects—from concept development and 3D modeling to realistic rendering, technical drawings, and on-site-ready deliverables. I also collaborate with exhibition builders, agencies, and brands across the US and Europe, shaping creative direction and overseeing production details so the final environment matches the original vision.
Exhibit stand for Access at IMEX America 2026, designed for Gielissen, a US exhibit builder, in collaboration with their team. Scope: stand design and photorealistic 3D renders. A bold red architecture with a large map feature and an open meeting area carries the "One Door. Everywhere From Here." message.
Large island stand for Rheinmetall at AUSA 2025, designed for Gielissen, a US exhibit builder, in collaboration with their team. Scope: stand design, photorealistic 3D renders and presentation. Suspended branded headers and a clear circulation plan organize the space around the vehicles on display.
Modular pavilion stand for the Finland presence at IFA 2026, designed for Messuille Oy in collaboration with their team. Scope: stand design, photorealistic 3D renders and presentation. An open, modular layout with a suspended header gives each exhibitor a clear branded space inside the shared pavilion.
Brand display installation for the Kawasaki NAV 4e, designed in 2025 for Gielissen, a US exhibit builder, in collaboration with their team. Scope: design, photorealistic 3D renders and technical drawings. A backlit green wall frames the vehicle against a dark, dramatic backdrop.
