Behind the Design: Crafting the Meridian Luxury Timepiece
Ever wondered how a high-end luxury watch goes from concept to photorealistic motion? Here is a breakdown of how this showcase was created from A to Z using industry-standard 3D design tools.
How It Was Created (A to Z Workflow)
Precision CAD Modeling:
Using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and CATIA, every mechanical component—from the intricate watch casing, bezel, and link bracelet down to the floating background gears—was engineered using precise parametric measurements to ensure exact real-world dimensions and mechanical accuracy.
Refining & Scene Assembly:
The precise CAD geometry was imported into Blender to assemble the full scene. Here, organic details like the micro-grooved dial face, subtle metallic textures, brush patterns, and the polished marble reflective surface were crafted.
Lighting & Motion:
Dynamic studio lighting setups, depth of field (cinematic background blur), and smooth camera push-ins were configured to highlight the metallic sheen, rose-gold accents, and delicate typography.
Photorealistic Rendering :
Using a high-end 3D renderer, realistic ray tracing was calculated—capturing complex light reflections, refractions on the sapphire glass, and realistic material physics across every frame.

FROM MIST TO CUP. 🍃
A cinematic AI commercial concept inspired by the quiet ritual and craftsmanship behind premium Japanese tea.
The goal was to create something that feels less like a traditional product ad and more like a sensory brand film — moving from mist-covered tea fields and freshly picked leaves to the precision of a Japanese tea ritual and the final pour.
I focused on atmosphere, tactile details, natural movement, soft light, and restrained luxury to make every frame feel calm, intentional, and premium.

Paris, bottled.
A sun-soaked social campaign for Juliette, a French peach liqueur, built around the effortless romance and everyday electricity of Paris. Rather than treating the city as a backdrop, I wanted it to feel like a character—warm, flirtatious, slightly chaotic, and alive.
The piece moves through streets, cafés, stolen glances, passing faces, architecture, and small moments of Parisian life, using a loose, observational shooting style and rhythmic editing to create something that feels less like a traditional liquor ad and more like a memory from a particularly good afternoon.
I directed, shot, and edited the campaign with an emphasis on texture, movement, color, and atmosphere, translating Juliette's distinctly French identity into a piece of lifestyle storytelling designed to make the audience want the feeling surrounding the product as much as the product itself.
this is good
Koko Kitchen - Restaurant Brand Identity & Packaging Design 🍜
Koko Kitchen is a bold, character-driven brand identity designed for a Japanese fusion kitchen that serves ramen, artisan cookies, and everything in between with the warmth and personality of a neighborhood spot that actually remembers your order.
The goal was to build a brand that feels as good to look at as the food feels to eat. Deep terracotta orange, a hand-drawn cat chef mascot, and confident wordmark typography that works equally well on a storefront sign at night and a delivery bag at noon.
Special attention was given to:
- A cat chef mascot that carries personality across every touchpoint
- A-frame signage leading with "Made with Love. Served with Joy"
- Premium cookie gift box with Miso Caramel and Matcha White Choc. flavour sleeves
- Staff aprons that make the team part of the brand
- A delivery bag that turns every rider into a moving billboard
- Backlit corner signage that owns the block after dark
The result is a restaurant brand that's warm, memorable, and built to travel from the kitchen counter to the customer's door
