I initially had a completely different idea: to create a cinematic trailer. After around 40–50 AI generations, the results still weren't what I envisioned, so I decided to start over from scratch.
That decision led to EXTASIS, a conceptual luxury streetwear brand built around its first collection, Human by Design. Rather than using AI to generate random content, I used it as a creative tool to develop a single, cohesive vision from start to finish.
I designed the brand identity, created the collection, developed custom AI models, produced the visuals, and directed a private Fashion Week-style runway film. The biggest challenge wasn't generating images—it was making every garment, model, environment, and transition feel like they belonged to the same world.
Every creative decision came back to one question:
"Does this truly feel like EXTASIS?"
That human judgment shaped the entire project.
AI accelerated the process.
Creative direction, taste, and every important decision remained human.
While there's always room for improvement, big room in this case, considering the limited AI generations and the short timeframe, I think this is a solid result.
Nordmørk — Independent Watchmaking Brand Identity
Nordmørk is an independent Norwegian watchmaking concept built around one idea: the whole only reveals itself up close.
The project combines brand strategy, naming, visual identity, art direction, product design, digital experience, social campaign and motion. Inspired by Nordic landscapes, the visual system translates moss, sand, fog and mineral textures into a quiet and precise horological universe.
