My Human by Design moment: overriding it, mapping every detail to real psychology — handwritten letters for Grief, exploding dough for Hope, a vinyl record for Nostalgia, a "CLOSED" sign for Burnout, grenade chilis for Rage.

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 🎵

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.
