Before & After: Photo Restoration for Sareena
This is what happens when a real creative uses AI as a tool, not a crutch.
I worked with Indian model Sareena to restore vintage photos and edit reels that actually feel human. The before shots were faded, damaged, and low-res. The after? Clean, vibrant, and true to who she is.
AI helped with some of the heavy lifting (upscaling, noise reduction), but every creative decision was mine. Color grading, composition, retouching, the final look: all hand-directed. That's the difference between AI-generated work and work where AI answers to a designer.
Tools used: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, ChatGPT (as an assistant, not the artist).
Super Work

Two short motion ads for Instaheadshots, an app that turns ordinary selfies into studio-quality professional headshots with AI.
🎬 Ad 1: "Slide to Unlock" (10s)
A product-flow spot. It opens on a glowing slide-to-unlock button, then shows the app's processing and generating screens as a casual selfie becomes a polished headshot. It ends on the brand and a "Try Instaheadshots" CTA.
🎬 Ad 2: "Everyone's Upgrading" (20s)
A social-proof spot. Notification cards stack up as Sarah, Daniel and Priya each post a new profile photo within one week. The punchline is "everyone is using the exact same Instaheadshots to upgrade," which works on FOMO and ends on a clear CTA.
What I did: concept, motion design, UI animation, kinetic typography, sound sync

Option 2..Depicts what the app does instantly.
CREARA is a Spain-based architectural firm with a unique selling point: creating spaces that align with the lifestyles desired by young families.
With a premium, minimalist aesthetic, the firm stands out by avoiding cookie-cutter designs, instead creating bespoke solutions tailored to each client's specific needs.
Focusing primarily on young families, the visual identity is soft, modern, and sustainable.
The young-families angle is the tricky constraint here, since premium minimal usually gets read as slightly untouchable and families are the audience least inclined to want that. The softened wordmark and the warmer half of the palette look like where that gets absorbed. Was the...
