For this project, I redesigned a real Amazon beauty listing by combining customer research, strategic planning, AI-assisted concept exploration, and manual design refinement.
I began by analyzing customer feedback to identify recurring pain points and opportunities, then translated those insights into a clear creative strategy. AI accelerated concept generation and visual exploration, while every final decision, from composition and typography to retouching, image selection, and production-ready assets...was guided by human judgment.
This project demonstrates how AI can enhance a designer's workflow without replacing creative thinking, resulting in a cohesive, conversion-focused image stack built around real customer needs.
Created using Envato AI, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, and FigJam.
Amazing!
Human by Design: Driving AI with Instinct
About the Project
AI can generate stunning visuals in seconds, but it still lacks one crucial element: human intuition, taste, and emotional depth. For the Envato Challenge, I wanted to showcase the exact moment where human judgment turns a raw AI layout into a high-end, commercial-grade video.
The Workflow & My "Human by Design" Moment
When working with AI video generations, it’s easy to get lost in technical perfection that ultimately feels empty. My turning point in this project was realizing that not everything should be AI-generated. If there is high-quality B-roll, crisp sound effects, or a powerful music track already available, a real director uses them to ground the project in reality.
Instead of forcing the AI to fix its own pacing or audio mistakes, I took full control of the director's chair:
The Core: Used Envato Elements as my main creative hub to source real B-roll, seamless transitions, and precise sound design.
The Human Touch: Cut out the uninspired AI shots, restructured the timing, and layered organic audio to build actual tension and emotion.
The Toolkit
Main Assets: Envato Elements (Video Templates, Music, Sound Effects, Stock Footage)
Secondary Tools: CapCut / Canva
At the end of the day, AI might build the frame, but only a human creator can build the emotion. 🎬⚡

very cool, nice work
Working on a landing page, and while doing so, playing with AI to try out new ways of doing things.
Spent some time this morning tweaking this halftone generator, so I can easily create on-brand images over & over.
Tried Figma's beta Agent first, ended up back with Claude.
Who else likes to play around like this on the weekends?
Nice work as usual! Building custom generative tools to keep assets on-brand is a game-changer for shipping clean landing page hero sections.
