Thrilled to see my latest R&D project, "Unfurl," featured in Stash Magazine! This piece is an exploration into the commercial potential of generative AI, asking: Can we bridge the gap between AI’s unpredictable nature and the precision required for production? The entire project lives at the intersection of human art direction and machine learning. To maintain deliberate control over the interplay of flowers and fabrics, I used Cinema 4D as the base structure for the generative layers (ComfyUI, Krea, Kohya). Huge thanks to Tom Parry for building such an incredible, tactile "unfurling" soundscape that perfectly mirrors the visuals.

Congrats on the Stash feature! That tension between AI's unpredictability and production-ready precision is exactly the problem I think about with client work too. Curious what your actual pipeline looked like, pure generative output or a lot of manual cleanup after?

For this challenge, I wanted to show that AI doesn’t replace creativity, it expands it.

Using Envato as my creative toolkit, I built every part of this project, from the visuals and branding to the sound and motion. The most important part wasn’t generating ideas, but deciding which ones deserved to become the final story.

Human by Design. 🧡
