Marrying Creativity and Strategy for Fun Brands ✨
Marrying Creativity and Strategy for Fun Brands ✨
In true ADHD fashion, I’ve spent approximately FOREVER setting up my online portfolio (https://www.bellabrillantes.com/), something I could have probably made in a weekend (Plot twist: I actually finished the whole thing over the weekend 😮💨)
So here’s my little corner of the internet, a home for my creative work, curiosities, rabbit holes, creative detours, and things I make simply because they amuse me hehe 🧡

A year ago, I moved from our i18n team at Canva, where I led and supported template campaigns built around cultural insights, local context, and the nuances of how people celebrate, communicate, and create across different locales.
Now, on Growth, my design team's starting point looks different. We work mainly from SEO data, search behavior, and signals around what people are actively looking for 👀
Different insight. Different source. Same creative process: find the signal, ground it in real-world research, understand the person behind it, and turn that understanding into something useful, relevant, and worth creating.
It’s honestly been interesting to see how changing the input can change the output, while the fundamentals of good design stay surprisingly the same.
Here’s a look at what my team has been making so far this year! ✨

Cup Game Matcha Trail — A reusable product ad template
I built a playful “Guess the Cup” matcha animation in SVGator, where the cups move, the winning drink is revealed, and the motion transitions into a branded product showcase with kinetic typography and a moving line. Designed for food-and-beverage brands, product launches, and social ads, the template lets creators adapt the same animation by replacing the product image, logo, and editable text—the attached proof demonstrates it with a second product.

From Screen to Something I Can Hold
For the Descript “Teach Us Something” Challenge, I’m sharing a simple creative practice I use whenever I need some time away from the screen: turning a reference photo into a mini doll using pipe-cleaner wire.
The idea is simple, but the process has taught me something I keep coming back to: making something physical can help reset my attention, keep me motivated, and spark new creative ideas.
In the video, I walk through my actual process—from building the head and body with wire, shaping the arms and legs, and finishing the head, to attaching everything together and creating the clothes, shoes, hair, and final details.
I also edited the entire video in Descript. I edited and arranged the clips, edited the audio, used AI Studio Sound to improve the sound quality, added key text instead of full captions so the video of the doll wouldn’t be covered, and added background music to bring everything together.
The goal wasn’t to make a Descript tutorial. Instead, I wanted to share one part of my own creative workflow: when I feel like I need a reset, I step away from the screen, work with my hands, and turn an idea into something tangible.
It’s a small project, but it gives me a different way to think, create, and come back to the screen with new ideas.

Let’s Get Beaded: One 1830s Stitch, Every Format
At The Metropolitan Museum of Art, I found two American bead-knitted pouches from around 1820–40: tiny landscapes stitched from thousands of glass beads, essentially pixel art made by hand two centuries before screens. I cropped them to the beadwork, built one Recraft V4 Style from both, and asked a single question: how far can one stitch travel? Beaded World turns it into illustration, with nine scenes of modern everyday life, from rainy commutes and rush-hour traffic to cherry-blossom picnics, night street food and a drive along the coast. Beaded Poster turns it into graphic design through bold typographic posters, album art and a concert ticket, while Let’s Get Beaded turns it into fashion: four fully beaded, fully accessorized outfits shown on dress forms, worn by four models and brought to life in a short fashion film. Same 200-year-old craft, every format: let’s get beaded.

The Yellow Door — #1000WaysToCCW
I had a little credit left over, so I made one last entry, just for the fun of creating.
SORA sits alone in her roller skates at a yellow computer in an endless grass field and types that she wants a way to LA. A yellow door pops up out of the grass. She steps through into a low-poly PS1 dream, seen through her own dizzy eyes, stumbles, falls hard and blacks out. A voice wakes her, and she opens her eyes at CapCut World LA.
HOW I MADE IT
Planning: the story, the timeline, the three looks and the prompt were planned around 18 seconds, the credit I had left, so it had to work in a single run.
References: four images generated a character sheet for SORA, the endless field with the yellow computer, the PS1 dream world, and CapCut World LA at eye level.
Video: one 18-second, 16:9 Seedance 2.5 generation in CapCut Video Studio, from a timecoded 10-block prompt with @image references, dialogue in { }, a sound effect for every action in < > and continuous ambience.
Three looks in one take: warm 35 mm film in the field, low-poly PS1 inside the door, photoreal on waking. Each switch happens on a hard cut, and from the door on the camera becomes her eyes.
