CORAL ROYALTY explores the intersection of ancient West African royal iconography and modern haute-couture geometry. The project aims to demonstrate how high-end cultural jewelry, specifically hand-carved Benin coral beads and 24k gold filigree wirework, can be directed into a global luxury campaign using advanced generative tools.
The Primary Challenge: Achieving 100% material and character fidelity, ensuring the exact coral bead carvings, gold clasps, and model likeness remain identical across diverse camera angles, distances, and lighting setups.
Cultural Authenticity: Fused traditional West African regal adornments (Ike-Eje coral beads, sculpted gold cuffs) with modern brutalist terracotta architecture.
Asset Locking: Maintained model persona, braided updo styling, and crimson embroidered suit details across full-body, close-up, and product-only compositions.
Commercial Scalability: Delivered a complete multi-touchpoint launch suite in days, reducing pre-production timelines and prototyping costs for luxury houses.
Introducing LUCE, a fresh chapter in four generations of fine jewelry.
Earthy greens, expressive typography, and thoughtful packaging bring warmth and personality to a brand rooted in heritage.
I worked with LUCE across brand strategy, visual identity, packaging experience, and full Shopify website design and development, bringing every detail into one cohesive world.
Built around a bold gorilla mark, oversized typography, and an electric purple + neon-lime palette.
A streetwear identity designed to feel bold, rebellious, and instantly recognizable โ from hoodies and caps to packaging, tags, and everyday brand details.

Using electric purple paired with neon lime is a high risk color choice that demands exceptional contrast management. Getting that balance right across different fabrics and lighting conditions is often where streetwear brand identities actually fail.
