Overview
This is a self-initiated concept created in response to a real design brief for Activist Skincare. The objective was to explore how the brand’s visual identity could evolve into a more vibrant, natural luxury experience across social media and email marketing.
Rather than creating isolated assets, I designed a cohesive marketing system that maintains consistency across customer touchpoints while highlighting the brand’s premium skincare products.
Scope
• Social Media Product Spotlight Template
• Email Marketing Template
• Design System
• Visual Direction
Design Approach
The goal was to create a cohesive visual system that reflects Activist Skincare’s vibrant, natural luxury aesthetic across both social media and email marketing.
The design draws inspiration from editorial layouts, botanical imagery, refined typography, generous whitespace, and a clear visual hierarchy to keep the product at the center of the experience. Every element was chosen to create a premium, modern, and approachable brand presence while ensuring consistency across multiple customer touchpoints.
Outcome
The final concept demonstrates how a unified design system can strengthen brand recognition and create a consistent customer experience across multiple digital channels.

AI Product Photography with Google Gemini: KLEEN Toothpaste Concept Project
Note: This is a spec/concept project created to demonstrate AI product photography skills for DTC brands. KLEEN is a fictional brand used for portfolio purposes.
The Challenge
KLEEN needed premium product images for online sales and marketing.
A traditional photoshoot costs $2,000+, takes 2 weeks to schedule, and delivers maybe 2-3 angles. Need a bundle shot or lifestyle scene later? Pay again.
Most small brands either look cheap online or skip visual marketing entirely. Neither is an option if you want to compete.
My Solution
Using Google Gemini and iterative prompt engineering, I created 4 hyper-realistic product images from a single base photo.
The approach relies on what I call Consistency Locking: a prompting methodology I developed to keep the exact product design, logo, typography, colors, and details identical across every scene. Only the background, lighting, and props change.
The result: studio-quality imagery. Zero studio.
Deliverables
Hero Splash Shot: Dark background, water splash, mint and salt accents. Built for ads and website heroes. Stops the scroll instantly.
Lifestyle with Toothbrush: Product paired with a bamboo brush in a clean, natural setting. Builds trust on product pages by showing real context.
Action Squeeze Shot: Hand squeezing paste onto a brush with water droplets mid-air. Demonstrates texture and real use. Reduces buyer hesitation.
3-Pack Bundle: Three tubes in a kraft box with a splash effect. Designed for Amazon multi-pack listings and bulk purchase promotions.
All 4 images maintain 100% brand consistency across every shot.
Tools
Google Gemini Image Generation + Iterative Prompt Engineering
Results:
Traditional: Time 2 weeks
Cost $2,000+ 90% less
Output 2-3 angles
AI Approach: Time: 1 day
Cost: 90% less
Output: 4 Campaign ready images
Why This Matters
Your product photos are your sales team. For DTC brands, visuals are the difference between a scroll and a sale.
AI is easy. Anyone can type a prompt. But 7 years of design experience + prompt engineering = Gemini executes like a pro photographer. That’s the difference.
AI with Google Gemini lets DTC brands compete visually with category leaders, without the category leader budget.
Use Cases
Amazon listings · Shopify product pages · Instagram and Facebook ads · Pitch decks · Packaging mockups

Product ads don’t sell specs. They sell a better version of you.
Oba-pounds New Smartphones campaign.
The brief wasn’t “list the features.” It was “make ambition feel attainable.”
So we put the phone in the background. The man in the foreground.
Camel coat. Coffee. Call. That’s the life this phone enables. Not the other way around.
Black + orange because tech should feel powerful, not sterile. The glow says “energy” without saying “battery life.”
Headline is massive because confidence is massive. Subhead says “Advanced new smartphones for your daily life” — no jargon, no gigahertz. Just outcome.
The asterisk? That’s your life. The phone fits into it.
Art direction + ad design for Oba-pounds smartphone launch.
I create tech brands that feel human. From UI to billboard, I make complex products feel obvious.

Luxury doesn’t shout. It spaces things out.
SmartTouch rebrand.
The brief: Make it feel like the stylist you call when money isn’t the question.
So we killed the noise.
ST monogram split by a single line — that’s the boundary between personal and public. Between who you are at home and who you are on the red carpet.
SMARTTOUCH knocked out of the center. If you know, you know.
“STYLIST FOR THE RICH” set wide, confident, no apologies. Not “affordable luxury.” Not “accessible.” Just rich.
Because when you serve that market, pretending otherwise is the fastest way to lose trust.
Off-white background. Soft shadow. Rounded container. Everything says “custom” and “considered”.
Brand identity for SmartTouch. This is the final mark.
I design for luxury, fashion, and personal brands that need to feel established on day one.
If your client list is confidential, we should talk.

Fashion brands have 2 seconds to prove they understand women.
DIANAA does it in one glance.
Sketch-style dress form because fashion starts with a drawing, not a factory.
Gold on black because elegance doesn’t need color to be loud.
Spaced serif because luxury needs room to breathe.
The brief was simple: “Make it feel like a Paris atelier, not fast fashion.”
So we skipped the sans-serif, skipped the influencers, skipped the trend.
We went back to craft. The mannequin. The pencil line. The flourish underneath like a signature on a custom gown.
This is brand identity for a label that values the process as much as the product.
Logo + wordmark system for DIANAA. Full brand world coming.
I design for fashion, beauty, and luxury brands that want to feel established, not seasonal.

A logo isn’t a brand. A mug is.
DINNING EST X 1997.
The brief wasn’t “make a cool mountain logo.” It was “make something people want to hold at 6am before they go climb something.”
So we built the badge first. Arching type for movement. Mountains because the goal is always up. “Explore the unknown” because comfort is the enemy.
Then we put it on black and white mugs because the best gear looks good beat up.
This isn’t just merchandise. It’s the brand in someone’s hands. Every morning.
That’s where loyalty actually happens. Not in a brand deck.
DINNING brand identity + merch system. More pieces coming.
I design brands that people wear, use, and keep. If you’re building outdoor, lifestyle, or coffee, let’s talk.
