My first commercial ever made entirely with AI in 24 hours on a ~$100 budget.
Created for the Runway Big Ad Contest 2026. A 60-second IMAX-style spec ad for a fictional garden hose brand. An orange tabby cat discovers a garden hose that comes alive they play together until the cat falls asleep inside it like a cozy nest. A visual metaphor for becoming an adult.
I developed the concept, wrote the screenplay, engineered all prompts, generated every shot with Veo 3.1 and Gen-4.5 on Runway, and edited in post with no prior experience in commercial filmmaking.
Skills: AI video production, prompt engineering, creative direction, storyboarding, post-production, rapid self-directed learning.

I created camera + character motion control technique for the submission. Honestly, seeing it all come together after publishing the template was both surprising and super satisfying.
This isn’t just a concept, it genuinely works, and it looks great doing it. If you’re promoting a fashion brand on Instagram Stories, YouTube Shorts, or Reels, this becomes a really powerful way to turn simple content into something that actually grabs attention and sells.
At the heart of it, the idea is simple: a character that takes over your fashion assets and brings them into a dynamic video space and making everything feel more expressive, engaging, and real.

nice work design
Nature meets Craft: A Whimsical Journey with AI 🍄✨ I wanted to explore the intersection of traditional handmade textures and modern cinematic AI. Using FLORA, I’ve brought this intricate, hand-crocheted mushroom jacket to life, focusing on the hyper-realistic yarn details and the organic movement of 3D elements. This piece isn't just about fashion; it’s about storytelling through texture and light. 🌿🧶

This is very well put together—the clarity and structure show that every decision was intentional. It’s the kind of work that looks simple on the surface but clearly required strong judgment behind the scenes. When you were building this, how did you decide what to prioritize and what to leave out?
Nike x Adventure...an AI Concept Campaign
A fully AI-directed concept campaign built around movement, nature, and athletic femininity. Three worlds. One visual language. Zero production budget.
Desert. Ocean. Sky.
Each scene was conceptualized, art directed, by yours truly and produced entirely through AI ...from model casting and wardrobe to location, lighting, and color grade. The result is a campaign-ready visual series that rivals traditional production at a fraction of the cost and timeline.
Seedance 2.0 handled the kinetic layer. The hair lift. The atmospheric depth. The subtle motion that makes your eye believe it was captured, not created.
What this demonstrates:
— AI creative direction from concept to final asset
— Cohesive color and brand storytelling across multiple scenes
— Campaign-level output without a physical shoot
If you're a brand that needs high-impact visual concepts fast...this is what's possible.
