I’ve been exploring how AI can support character-driven storytelling — not just generate visuals.
For this animated project, I developed a story around three Chinese domestic cats, combining character design, cinematic visual direction, animation, editing, original music, and multilingual subtitles into one creative workflow.
The biggest challenge was consistency: keeping each character recognizable while maintaining the same visual world, personality, and storytelling rhythm across scenes.
AI accelerated parts of the production process, but the storytelling decisions — pacing, humor, shot selection, music, and emotional beats — still needed deliberate creative direction.
I’m continuing to refine this workflow for short films, branded storytelling, and social content.
Curious how other creatives are balancing AI generation with human creative direction.

This project reminded me why I love branding.
Not because of the logo design—but because of everything that comes after it.
I challenged myself to build more than a logo. From strategy and identity to packaging, campaign visuals, product design, and motion visuals, every detail was crafted to create a luxury brand that's as inclusive as it is beautiful.
Which mockup is your favorite? 👀
Going beyond just the logo into packaging and motion for Stolen Summer is exactly the kind of scope that makes a brand actually feel whole instead of just a mark slapped on things. Was there a piece of the system that almost got cut for time but you fought to keep in?
