Short-Form Social Media Video Editing
For this project, I transformed raw footage into a fast-paced, engaging short-form video designed to capture attention within the first few seconds and keep viewers watching until the end.
The editing process focused heavily on pacing, storytelling, and visual engagement. I carefully selected the strongest parts of the footage, removed unnecessary pauses and distractions, and arranged the clips into a clear and engaging sequence.
I added dynamic cuts, smooth transitions, strategic zooms, motion effects, and on-screen text to make the video feel more energetic and suitable for modern social-media platforms. Captions were also incorporated to make the content easy to follow, even when watched without sound.
I worked on the audio by balancing the dialogue, adding suitable background music, and using sound effects at key moments to make important transitions and actions more impactful.
The footage was also color-corrected and enhanced to create a clean and consistent visual appearance. I made sure the final edit maintained a professional style while still feeling engaging and natural.
The video was edited in a vertical format optimized for platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Project Showcase: Brand Identity Design for Burger Lover 🍔🎨
As a designer working with small businesses, I recently led the visual identity design for Burger Lover, a fast-casual restaurant looking to establish a distinct, memorable presence in a competitive market.
My focus was on translating the brand’s core personality into a clean, cohesive visual system that bridges the gap between digital marketing and physical packaging.
Key Design Deliverables
Logo & Visual Identity: Crafted a modern, scale able mark built for high legibility on everything from app icons to storefront signage.
Packaging & Touch points: Designed branded takeout boxes, custom burger wraps, and sticker seals engineered to create an elevated unboxing experience.
Color Palette & Typography: Paired appetite-stimulating primary tones with strong display typography to establish instant visual recognition.
Social & Marketing Assets: Developed structured templates to ensure consistent visual hierarchy across digital channels.
I’d love to get feedback from fellow designers! How do you feel about the packaging layout and visual balance? Any insights on the typographic hierarchy would be greatly appreciated.

This was one of the most fun AI projects I’ve worked on lately.
For Tecnofas, we created a full clay-style animation, literally building the visual language around that handcrafted, stop-motion look, but produced with AI.
The video above is a compilation of some of the scenes we developed for the project.
The creative challenge was to explain a very technical difference in a way that felt simple and visual: comparing a traditional retrofit construction process with a ventilated façade system, which can reduce the number of workers needed on site by up to 60%.
Tecnofas is the kind of client that really enjoys experimenting with new visual languages, so we had a lot of freedom to explore the concept, test ideas and push the AI workflow beyond a standard corporate animation.
That freedom made the process especially enjoyable. Instead of using AI only to make production faster, we used it to create a visual style that would probably never have been the obvious choice for this kind of industrial communication.
