The submission I've done for the Renoise challenge: Friend or Foe?
Friend or Foe? is a quick humorous cinematic inspired ad that takes a real-life concept of armies destroying/harming poor villages and turning it into something a bit unusual, laugh-worthy!
I generated images I wanted by utilizing some witty wordplay. I used Canvas to align and reference the shot image assets I chose. Then I generated the video with the help of my image assets and description.

What transforms AI-generated assets into meaningful creative work?
I created a short cinematic vertical ad for the Envato challenge.
I really like the challenge theme because it reflects something I strongly believe: AI is a powerful creative tool, but it's the human behind the creative vision, direction, and decision-making that elevates the final result.
For this entry, I directed the entire creative process, from developing the concept, selecting the right stock assets, creating AI-generated visuals, color grading, and assembling the final ad.

For this challenge, I created KUMO, a playful toy brand from scratch 🧸✨
I designed the toy characters, developed the branding, created custom mockups, and designed a website to bring the whole world together. I used Envato throughout the creative process for visuals, assets, experimentation, and refinement, while Suno helped me create the background music 🎵
From the toys to the website, I wanted every detail to feel playful, cohesive, and part of the same nostalgic world.
so cool!!
What started as a poster for a local Longboard Fest turned into a creative playground.
I began by generating an illustration from two reference images. After a LOT of iterations, I finally found the direction I was looking for.
Then I experimented with Envato's Style Transfer, exploring different visual styles until one really stood out.
My first idea was simple: place the poster into mockups and animate a flyer falling onto the sand. But once I saw it... it just didn't feel right.
So I changed direction.
While browsing Envato's video templates, I found one with layered posters. Instead of choosing a single design, I decided to animate five different versions of my poster.
That unexpected decision completely transformed the final result, and became my Human by Design moment.
AI helped me explore possibilities, but the creative direction, the decisions, and the final story were entirely human.
Created for the Contra × Envato Human by Design Challenge.

I like that you shared the changes in direction instead of just the final result. Those creative pivots are usually where the strongest ideas come from.
