This creation was inspired by a fictional interpretation of the Nuremberg Armor from The Met’s public archive.
The original piece is a German suit of armor made in Nuremberg around 1520, constructed from steel and leather. Its distinctive fluted surfaces reflect the transition from late Gothic armor toward the fuller forms associated with the Maximilian style.
For this project, I wanted to explore the different stages of the armor’s imagined life — not simply as an object, but as something that existed within an environment, was worn, carried, marked by events, and eventually left behind as a trace of history.
The challenge was to communicate a specific feeling without explaining everything, leaving enough space for the viewer to complete the story themselves.
Really happy to take part in the Challenge using FLORA. Exploring The Met’s archive was already inspiring, but digging deeper into the histories and possible narratives surrounding individual objects made the process even more interesting.
You now have until next Friday (9/25) to submit to the Cantina Challenge!
We can't wait to see what you create with the extra time to build and refine 🚀
Another day of prioritising the visuals and imagining a company that doesn't exist. I promise the next one is a tech brief with barely any imagery at all, I've leaned hard on beautiful photography for twelve days straight.
Concept: a mycelium materials company producing leather, packaging and foam grown from fungal networks. The design deliberately inverts the category's defaults; biotech branding tends toward dark, clinical and electric blue, so this one goes warm and botanical, with a subtle looping video of spores drifting and mushrooms emerging. The copy pulls hard the other way: plain, technical, B2B-direct, anchored by two concrete numbers instead of sustainability adjectives.
Twelve briefs across travel, food retail, personal branding, events, landscape architecture, pet services, hospitality, coffee, lighting, wellness, restaurants and now biomaterials.

Suno 6-mini (completely free for everyone) can compose a soundtrack from a single image or video 🤩
I gave it one of my visual projects and let it interpret the mood, colors, textures, and overall vibe into a soundtrack.
And the process was sooo simple. Upload the visual, hit create, and see what Suno hears.
It took me a couple to get to this one, but I looove the idea of adding sound as another layer to the creative process.
Try it with one of your own visuals and let me know what Suno comes up with. 🎧✨
That it read mood and color into a soundtrack instead of just matching genre tags is wild. Did the result land close to what you would've picked yourself, or did it take the project somewhere you didn't expect?
