I love a great mockup, but I see the same ones pop up over and over again. Designers know when a mockup is great, so we jump on it! To counteract that overuse, I've been creating my own mockups with MJ & Nano Banana. These are some of my favourites. Prompts: A small white plastic jar of cream is placed on top of moss and rocks, with a light grey and beige background. The product photography uses studio lighting and high-resolution photography, with a soft focus and soft shadows. Neutral colours are used, with nature-inspired imagery of organic forms and earthy tones, including green and green flowers. Obviously, the words/text are not it yet, but I go in and edit the raw file after anyways ;)

Remember my Cnnbis client - Valentine is coming up, and they wanted some event assets. No brief, no copy, just the events. Sometimes having no set rules makes me write great puns and design lovely assets. Which one is your favourite?

In another life — well, about 4 years ago — I was the brand designer for a web3 NFT project, and I have never bragged about it. I'm about to! The story was incredible, one guinea pig 🐹 trying to escape a laboratory to find his love, which was taken for testing. Along the way, he meets 7 other characters who try to overthrow the lab. —PT 1 (I have more visuals I want to share! Why only 4 Contra? ;))

Question for my designer friends: How do you make time for passion projects? I know they're important, but client work always comes first to me and pushes the passion to the bottom of the list. Last one I made was Kabas at the start of the year. Any tips & tricks welcome!

Right after working on the short film in collaboration with BBC Concert Orchestra this year, I have started to work on building a non-alcoholic drinks brand from scratch. Introducing Aperire, an artisanal non-alcoholic drinks brand, focusing on Artistry, Authenticity & Human Connection, designed with Gen Z audiences in mind. Aperire is all about the art of instinct, and meaningful connections. To Open Or Not To Open? When You Know, You Know...

This project centres on a conversational narrative between an existing employee and a new joiner, designed to introduce the company in an engaging, approachable way. Using motion graphics and narrative-led storytelling, the piece breaks down Informa’s structure, services, and global presence into a friendly, easy-to-understand dialogue. This approach transforms what could be a dense corporate overview into a relatable exchange, helping new audiences quickly grasp key information while maintaining a polished and professional visual style.

M&G, a global asset management company, is renowned for its size and popularity. I was commissioned by Citywire to create an explainer animation for M&G Global, with the aim of raising awareness about Sustainable Development Goals. This initiative seeks to promote sustainable practices and drive positive change in various areas, such as climate action, social equality, and responsible consumption. By creating this animation, we can educate and engage audiences about M&G’s commitment to sustainable development.

Luxury Villa Moraira — AI Visual Campaign

Smoking Hot — Concept Campaign for Kilian Paris A concept fragrance campaign for Kilian Paris' Smoking Hot — a gourmand oriental built on vanilla, tobacco, patchouli, and burning resin. Rather than leading with the bottle, this campaign leads with the notes: macro visuals of bourbon vanilla pods, glowing resinoid, patchouli rising from earth, and dense tobacco — all rendered in a dark amber palette that mirrors the scent's warmth and smoke. Every image was produced using AI generation (Midjourney / Nano Banana Pro) with prompt engineering crafted to match Kilian's existing luxury aesthetic — moody, tactile, and unapologetically rich. The stills were then edited and animated into a 30-second cinematic reel. 📽 Reel 01: https://www.instagram.com/p/DUHfB1ECkWq/ 📽 Reel 02: https://www.instagram.com/p/DUHIO3ECgY1/

Texture Defines Luxury — Winter Accessories Concept Campaign A concept campaign built around one idea: in luxury fashion, texture is the product. Rather than shooting accessories as flat hero objects, this series goes macro — woven leather, engineered fur, structured wool — letting the material speak before the brand does. Featuring pieces from Alo, Burberry, and Bottega Veneta, unified by a muted editorial palette of cream, charcoal, and black. All visuals were AI-generated using Midjourney with prompt engineering focused on tactile realism — the kind of close-up detail that stops a scroll. Sequenced as a social carousel moving from campaign hero to individual material studies. 📸 View on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DU5wf5XlHnS/

Diamond Ring — Luxury Jewellery Concept Campaign A concept jewellery campaign built around a cushion-cut diamond halo ring — styled across four distinct environments to show how a single hero product can be shot multiple ways for different campaign needs. From nestled in white rose petals, to velvet box presentation, to a clean floating studio shot, to worn on the hand — each frame tells a different part of the story a jewellery brand needs to tell. All visuals were AI-generated using Higgsfield and Midjourney with prompt engineering crafted to match the editorial standard of luxury jewellery houses. The result is a ready-to-use visual suite covering social carousels, product pages, and campaign hero shots — no studio required. 📸 View on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/instagram/p/DUKD-nvEfAG/
