BORA – Ad Creative Concept
Most kitchen appliance ads sell you the warm family dinner. I wanted to try the opposite.
Built this BORA concept as a portfolio piece, treating the product like architecture instead of tech – dark marble, concrete, no hands, no food styling. Just a pot, steam, and silence.
The steam does all the movement in the motion piece. Typography stays out of the way – one line, low CTA, nothing fighting the composition. Turns out when you strip out the lifestyle, the price point sells itself.
Treating the appliance like architecture is a strong direction.
Motion Graphics for a new product launch.
the freeze protection card is a nice touch. is this for a real app or a concept?
Animated Event Video Poster | Tag der Clubkultur
Dynamic motion design and video poster created for the "COREspecs" event as part of Berlin's official Tag der Clubkultur festival series.
The visual concept merges an authentic underground Berlin aesthetic—featuring iconic transit motifs, gritty textures, and acid neon accents—with clean, structured typographic hierarchy and a fully synchronized lineup reveal.
Software & Tools: Adobe After Effects (motion design, compositing, visual effects, and expression-driven audio reactivity), Suno AI (custom industrial/EBM sound design and score).
Deliverable: Vertical looping video teaser optimized for social media promotion and digital event boards.
