A poor man is coughing badly at a busy marketplace when something strange happens. As he coughs, real money suddenly comes out of his mouth. People around him stop, stare, and rush closer in disbelief. Within seconds, the quiet moment turns into chaos as everyone wonders where the magical money is coming from.
Another day of prioritising the visuals and imagining a company that doesn't exist. I promise the next one is a tech brief with barely any imagery at all, I've leaned hard on beautiful photography for twelve days straight.
Concept: a mycelium materials company producing leather, packaging and foam grown from fungal networks. The design deliberately inverts the category's defaults; biotech branding tends toward dark, clinical and electric blue, so this one goes warm and botanical, with a subtle looping video of spores drifting and mushrooms emerging. The copy pulls hard the other way: plain, technical, B2B-direct, anchored by two concrete numbers instead of sustainability adjectives.
Twelve briefs across travel, food retail, personal branding, events, landscape architecture, pet services, hospitality, coffee, lighting, wellness, restaurants and now biomaterials.

Built on the Viper template by Westhill Studio, adapted and customised by me.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
This is a message from the heart, from someone who wanted to succeed but couldn't, and perhaps this is his final attempt. I worked for years for free, creating and trying again and again, but I never won a prize that could help me continue my journey. I created this character, Meltboy, a melting slime, to represent my current exhaustion and how drained I feel.
I couldn't create and publish the video, even though I have a desktop. I simply don't have enough time to keep waiting for a solution. But I will keep waiting for the result, and one day, Insha'Allah, I will come back and see what happened. Maybe, just maybe, my final attempt will succeed.
Series Title: Zeno: Becoming Human Pilot / Episode Title: First Date I created a short comedy pilot centered on Zeno, an alien trying to pass as a normal human while learning human behavior through observation, bad assumptions, and literal interpretations.
The pilot follows his first date with Belinda, where his attempts to act normal slowly become more suspicious and absurd. I chose this concept because it creates a simple recurring comedy engine. Every episode can place Zeno in a different everyday human situation such as dating, work, friendships, parties, travel, or family life, where he confidently misunderstands the rules.
I wanted the character to feel strange but likable, with the humor coming from his complete confidence that he is blending in successfully, even when everyone around him can clearly tell something is wrong.
