Project title:
Soulcore — "The ASMR of a Woman's Body"
Women's Hormone Protein Ad Campaign
Description:
A spec ad campaign for Soulcore's
Women's Balance Plant Protein —
built around one insight:
Women with hormonal imbalances
have been taught to stay quiet
about their symptoms.
ASMR reframed:
Always Sleepy.
Sudden Mood Swings.
Missed or Irregular Periods.
Running on Empty.
Silence has symptoms.
Your body has been trying
to start the conversation.
Built to make women feel
understood before they feel sold to.
Format: Single Ad
Type: Spec Work — Independent

Oatish (Dancing Cow) —
"3 Subject Lines. 1 Inbox."
Email Subject Line Spec Campaign
A spec email subject line campaign
for Oatish by Dancing Cow —
built around one simple truth:
The best subject line isn't
the cleverest one.
It's the one that actually
gets opened.
Three subject lines walk into
an inbox. Only one wins.
This carousel turns a technical
copywriting concept — A/B testing
subject lines — into a playful,
scroll-stopping visual debate
between three competing approaches:
· The funny one
· The relatable one
· The one that hits harder
Each cow represents a different
copywriting strategy. The product
sits in the middle as the judge.
Because ultimately — the brand
decides what lands.
Built to show that email copywriting
doesn't have to be boring to be
strategic. And that the best
campaigns teach while they entertain.
Format: Instagram Carousel

Good Monk — "The Genie" Episodic Carousel Campaign
Episode 1 of 2
A spec episodic carousel concept for Good Monk built around one insight: Your parents were your first genie.
They noticed every gap before you could name it.
They filled every need before you knew you had one.
Then adulthood happened. And the genie quietly disappeared. This campaign follows two friends through a conversation about energy, genies and parents — with a thread of purple smoke running through every frame, building in intensity, with no origin revealed.
Until Episode 2. Where Good Monk appears.

Earthful — "Two Sisters. One S."
Brand Story Campaign
A spec brand story campaign built around Earthful's founding narrative. Two sisters. One who noticed the problems — silent fatigue, stress, skin issues, nutritional gaps, pain we quietly learn to live with. The other who believed the answer also deserved an S. Solution. Science. Nature. Simplicity. The letter S becomes the visual anchor for the entire brand philosophy — one shape holding both the suffering and the science, the silence and the solution.
Built to show that Earthful doesn't sell fear. It sells reassurance. Health without making people panic first.
Format: Brand Story
Campaign Type: Spec Work — Independent "The leaves get the attention. The roots do the work."

A spec email campaign for Yoga Bar
Super Muesli, written and designed
end to end — story, copy and visual system.
THE CONCEPT
The story follows a hostel student
who keeps skipping breakfast — told
through a friend who notices, and
a mother's voice she'd forgotten.
Every visual in this campaign is
written directly onto a yoga mat —
not as decoration, but as the metaphor
holding the whole idea together.
A yoga mat is something you unroll
every time you choose to show up
for yourself. That's exactly what
skipping breakfast is the opposite of.
So instead of a typical food photography
backdrop, the mat became the page the
story is written on — making the brand's
core value, "showing up for yourself,"
literal before a single word of copy
even appears.
THE WORK
Full narrative-driven email — subject
line, story arc, product integration
and CTA — built to make breakfast feel
less like a nutrition reminder and more
like a moment of self-respect.
Format: Email Campaign
Brand: Yoga Bar

Sleepy Owl Protein Cold Coffee — Owl Observation POV Campaign
A spec carousel campaign built for Sleepy Owl's Protein Coffee.
Concept: The Owl Observation POV — using the binocular frame as the owl's literal point of view, watching real human morning moments before the product ever appears. The owl observes. Never announces. The consumer discovers. Never gets sold to.
Format: 5 slide Instagram carousel
Brand: Sleepy Owl Coffee

Most people still associate protein with gym culture and bodybuilding.
For this concept, I explored a behavioral insight:
People rarely forget their coffee habit — but often postpone nutrition habits.
So instead of asking consumers to build a new habit, I repositioned protein by attaching it to an existing ritual:
Cold Coffee.
The objective was simple:
Make protein feel like everyday nutrition, not fitness culture.
Spec email campaign created for The Whole Truth.

I explored how Earthful could communicate product education without sounding clinical.
Instead of listing benefits, I focused on reframing hair nourishment through a familiar idea:
Growth happens below the surface before it shows above it.
This spec email was built around translating ingredient science into a narrative consumers can understand and connect with.
Because better wellness copy doesn’t just explain ingredients.
It makes people understand what’s happening inside their body.

A welcome email concept for Earthful's Root Nourish hair growth supplement.
The brief I set myself: Every hair care brand talks about hair fall. Nobody talks about the feeling that lives beside it.
The insight: Hair wash day anxiety is one of the most specific, most universal, and least spoken-about experiences of women dealing with hair fall. The mood shift. The drain check. The quiet dread that replaces what used to feel routine.
I built the email around one real Sunday evening moment — watering neglected plants, noticing brown leaves, and then the thought arriving: 'It's hair wash day tomorrow.'
The plant metaphor isn't decorative. It's structural. Brown leaves mean roots aren't being fed. Hair fall means the same thing. The product enters not as a solution but as a quiet truth — your roots are asking for something.
Deliverable: Full welcome email — subject line, body copy, emotional arc, CTA.
Concept built as part of active outreach to Earthful."

Good Monk — Berry Monsters: Kids Nutrition Campaign
A children's storybook spec campaign for Good Monk's Mixed Berry Kids Drink.
The brief I set myself: How do you sell nutrition to a child who thinks vegetables are monsters — without lying to them?
The insight: Kids don't hate fruits because of taste. They hate them because their imagination decided fruits are suspicious. So I went inside that imagination.
Three berry monsters — Strawberry, Raspberry, Beetroot — appear as terrifying shadows in a child's bedroom. Each one carries a gift: immunity, brain health, strong bones. The child's fear becomes curiosity. Curiosity becomes trust.
The product enters through the mother — invisibly, quietly, exactly as Good Monk promises.
Deliverables: 9-slide visual carousel — copy, illustration direction, character design, emotional arc.
Active interest from Good Monk's partnerships team.🙌

A concept campaign for Good Monk, India's sprinkle-on nutrition brand.
The brief I set myself: Find the emotional truth behind why Indian mothers are the most nutritionally neglected members of their own families — and make the product feel like the answer without ever making her the victim.
The insight: She doesn't skip nutrition because she can't access it. She skips it because she genuinely believes it's not for her. That quiet, smiling self-sacrifice is the story.
Deliverables: Full 8-slide carousel — copy, visual direction, emotional arc, and brand alignment with Good Monk's core promise: Nutrition. Smuggled with love."
This spec concept was shared directly with Good Monk's team and is currently under review by their partnerships department.

RCB’s IPL win aligned with two powerful behavioral triggers:
1st June and Monday motivation culture.
I wanted to explore how Cult.fit (http://Cult.fit) could turn a celebratory cultural moment into a behavior-driven fitness campaign.

I don’t think Indian kids from the 2000s realize how athletic we actually were.
Running like your life depended on it because the ball fell into the strict uncle’s house.
Dusty knees from Kho Kho.
Fighting over teams in Kabaddi like it was an IPL auction.
None of it looked like fitness back then.
But looking at it now —
it kind of was.
Started building this thought into a speculative campaign for Cult.fit (http://Cult.fit)’s 10 years.
