Cover image for A spec email campaign for
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 Type: Spec Work — Independent

Cover image for Sleepy Owl Protein Cold Coffee
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 Type: Spec work

Cover image for Most people still associate protein
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.

Cover image for I explored how Earthful could
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.

Cover image for A welcome email concept for
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."

Cover image for Engaging Kids Nutrition Storybook Campaign for Good Monk
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.🙌

Cover image for A concept campaign for Good
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.

Cover image for I don’t think Indian kids
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.
