Human by Design — NOCAFF ☕🧢
For the Envato Challenge, I created NOCAFF, a coffee brand inspired by Gen Z culture, internet slang, and fashion editorials. Instead of following traditional coffee branding with warm browns and vintage café aesthetics, I explored a bold visual identity using electric blue, orange, black, and white, building a brand that feels playful, contemporary, and unmistakably digital.
Using Envato as my primary creative toolkit, I developed the complete brand experience—from logo design, typography, packaging, mockups, and visual identity to a fully art-directed commercial. I used Envato Elements for fonts, mockups, music, and creative assets, while Envato AI helped me generate the initial campaign visuals that became the foundation for the final film.
✨ Human by Design moment:
AI-generated possibilities, but it didn't define the brand.
The biggest creative decision was rejecting what was expected. Coffee brands usually lean into earthy palettes and cozy aesthetics, but I deliberately chose a bold, fashion-forward direction. Throughout the process, I refined prompts, changed lighting, camera angles, compositions, styling, and pacing until every image and every frame felt consistent with the world I wanted NOCAFF to live in.
The final result isn't just an AI-generated campaign—it's a brand shaped through creative direction, taste, storytelling, and human judgment.
AI generated the possibilities.
Human creativity built the brand.
Created with Envato Elements + Envato AI

How do you design a skincare brand inspired by olives… without making it look like olive oil? 🤔 🤌🏼 That's the challenge I'm currently working through!
The hero ingredient naturally brings to mind food, kitchens, and grocery shelves. But this brand belongs in a premium skincare space.
So instead of focusing on the fruit itself, I'm exploring the Mediterranean lifestyle, botanical illustrations, tactile packaging, earthy color palettes, and editorial typography to communicate the ingredient without feeling edible.
This project is still a work in progress, but I thought it would be interesting to share the exploration before the final result.
Curious... if you had to communicate olives without illustrating an olive, where would you start?
I would add a big focus on fonts with a thoughful brand voice, tone & style that describes what the brand is through catchphrases and headlines!
Vacuum Flask — Product Landing Page for Extreme Outdoor Gear ❄️🔥
We designed a cinematic landing page concept for Vacuum Flask 🧊 — a durable outdoor product built for extreme cold, long adventures, and everyday performance.
The goal was to make a simple product feel powerful, reliable, and ready for harsh conditions. Through dramatic product-focused visuals, bold typography, icy atmosphere, and clear conversion actions, we created a landing experience that feels closer to a premium outdoor campaign than a standard product page.
Special attention was given to:
• a high-impact hero section that makes the product the main visual focus;
• bold campaign-style typography designed to communicate strength and performance;
• immersive winter atmosphere with snow, ice, and cold-weather lifestyle imagery;
• clear product benefits, including heat retention and outdoor durability;
• conversion-focused CTAs for “Buy Now” and “See the Collection”;
• premium visual direction suitable for outdoor, sports, lifestyle, and DTC product brands.
The result is a strong product landing experience that helps an everyday item feel memorable, premium, and built for adventure — turning functionality into desire.
Looking to design a bold landing page for your product, e-commerce, outdoor, or lifestyle brand? Let’s create something that sells the feeling, not just the product 🏔️
