As an Icelandic creator building my very first ElevenLabs template, I wanted to solve a major problem for solo marketers by transforming a static product layout into an end-to-end cinematic commercial narrative inspired by the raw nature of my home country. Based around "Huldu," a fictional Arctic Kombucha brand, the workflow automatically generates a complete visual arc—starting with a traveler taking a refreshing sip against a rugged landscape, shifting into an active trek into the snow under a glowing Aurora Borealis, and closing on a high-end studio product shot. By pairing this dynamic visual progression with ElevenLabs' highly expressive, textured, and gravelly voice synthesis, this template lets anyone generate a premium, winter-sports style beverage ad in seconds.

WINK 🥤 — playful packaging for a functional beverage brand.
I wanted to explore what functional wellness could look like if it felt less clinical and more like a lifestyle brand.
So I created WINK around three ideas:
Function × Flavor × Personality
The result is a playful packaging system with expressive typography, bold flavor cues, quirky graphics, and a clear information hierarchy — built to feel distinctive while remaining easy to understand.
I’m especially interested in working with early-stage CPG, beverage, food, wellness, and lifestyle founders who need more than just a logo — brands that need a visual system that can actually grow with the product.

If you're working on a product launch, rebrand, or packaging refresh, I'd love to hear what you're building.
The quirky bold typography sitting right on the can instead of a cleaner label treatment is a smart call, it matches the personality angle way more than a typical clinical wellness drink would. Nice work on the flavor cue system too.
Title & Overview
Project Title: AI-Driven Ad Creatives: Gemini vs. ChatGPT Performance Test
Role: Creative VA / Graphic Designer
Tools Used: Gemini (Imagen 3), ChatGPT (DALL-E 3), Canva
The Goal (The Challenge)
In modern e-commerce marketing, high-quality product photography is vital, but traditional studio shoots are expensive and take weeks to organize. As a Creative VA, my goal was to build a rapid, zero-cost workflow to generate high-end, scroll-stopping ad concepts using generative AI.
I set up a head-to-head split test using the exact same commercial prompt across two leading AI engines to determine which platform produces superior assets for conversion-focused Meta Ads.
🛠️ The Execution & Workflow
I engineered a highly detailed marketing prompt focusing on complex luxury textures, lighting, and reflections:
"Professional studio product photography of a premium glass perfume bottle resting on a block of raw pink Himalayan salt. Surrounded by floating water droplets and wild orchids. Dramatic luxury lighting, high-end e-commerce style, hyper-realistic, square aspect ratio, 1:1 format."
My Technical Adjustments:
Forced both platforms into a 1:1 square aspect ratio to maintain symmetry for ad placement.
Analyzed how each engine managed organic elements (orchids, salt rocks) versus synthetic structures (glass perfume bottles, text typography).
📊 The Results & Insights
I published the side-by-side comparison to my professional network to test real-world user engagement. The outputs revealed massive differences in platform logic:
Gemini (Imagen 3): Excelled at hyper-realistic editorial lighting, sharp background contrast, and crisp text rendering on the product label. Best for clean, high-impact catalog ads.
ChatGPT (DALL-E 3): Mastered atmospheric styling, producing a warm, cinematic lifestyle glow and highly intricate glass detailing. Best for emotional, narrative-driven social feeds.
By mastering these specific AI engines, I cut down visual production timelines from days to minutes.
This allows my clients to rapidly A/B test premium ad variations on Meta without burning through their photography budgets.
great use of AI for faster ad testing. 👏
One of my latest branding explorations 🍔
I wanted to create a burger brand that feels energetic, warm, and memorable — from the logo and color palette to the packaging and delivery applications.
The goal wasn't just to make a nice logo, but to see how the identity could live across real-world touchpoints.
Still learning, experimenting, and improving with every project.
