I recently completed a creative advertising campaign for Maple3, a premium, plant-based hydration drink made from 100% pure organic maple sap.
The challenge was to create a campaign that could communicate Maple3’s natural advantage while still feeling bold, performance-driven, premium, and relevant to modern athletes and active lifestyles.
Rather than relying on traditional product-focused ads, I developed a visual campaign that placed Maple3 directly inside the world of movement and performance from trail running and cycling to swimming, snowboarding, road trips, and outdoor adventure.
The goal was to answer one key question:
How can we make natural hydration feel just as powerful and aspirational as the world’s leading sports brands?
Through strategic creative direction, AI-assisted visual exploration, product storytelling, and design refinement, I created a cohesive campaign built around the idea:
Nature-powered hydration. Performance in motion.
This project also gave me the opportunity to explore how AI can support not replace creative thinking. Every visual started with a concept, was shaped through intentional art direction, and refined into a consistent campaign system.
The full Maple3 case study is available on my Behance.
🔗 Link to the full project is in the comments.
I’d love to hear your thoughts. Which campaign concept stands out to you the most?

The goal was to transform a simple product photo of an empty perfume bottle on a white background into a premium fragrance concept. Using AI-assisted design, I created a complete visual identity and placed the original product into polished commercial scenes while preserving its key shape and details.
The creative direction focused on understated luxury - elegant and premium, without making the visuals feel overly ornate or artificial. This concept demonstrates how a basic product image can be transformed into high-end e-commerce and advertising content using AI.
That exact moment you realize nothing is holding you back anymore!
I created this piece to visualize the feeling of finally breaking free after being stifled for so long, and I used Midjourney and Canva to bring this to life.
This is my first post on here and I am excited to be sharing more visual storytelling here on Contra!

Suno 6-mini (completely free for everyone) can compose a soundtrack from a single image or video 🤩
I gave it one of my visual projects and let it interpret the mood, colors, textures, and overall vibe into a soundtrack.
And the process was sooo simple. Upload the visual, hit create, and see what Suno hears.
It took me a couple to get to this one, but I looove the idea of adding sound as another layer to the creative process.
Try it with one of your own visuals and let me know what Suno comes up with. 🎧✨

That it read mood and color into a soundtrack instead of just matching genre tags is wild. Did the result land close to what you would've picked yourself, or did it take the project somewhere you didn't expect?
