Cover image for Luxury collaborations are always at

Luxury collaborations are always at their strongest when the storytelling feels just as considered as the craftsmanship behind them. One of my favourite projects to work on was helping lead the creative rollout for the Deakin & Francis x Jaguar Classic collaboration celebrating the re-launch of the iconic E-Type. Check it out (https://contra.com/p/3OYrXrEU-luxury-campaign-for-deakin-and-francis-x-jaguar-classic) A project bringing together British automotive heritage, luxury craftsmanship, bespoke design details, and a global campaign rollout across digital and press. The campaign went on to generate 100,000+ engagements, international press coverage, and contributed to a private vehicle sale valued at $532,000. Really proud to finally share this one.

Another case study added to my portfolio Check it out (https://contra.com/p/rZOQ6NgL-social-media-strategy-for-karndean-designflooring)! This project showcases how I developed and executed a social media strategy for Karndean Designflooring, helping build a recognisable brand across multiple platforms through strategic content, creative direction and consistent storytelling.

Cover image for SEEDANCE 2.5 | 30-SECOND ONE-SHOT

SEEDANCE 2.5 | 30-SECOND ONE-SHOT CINEMATIC TEST So I wanted to see how far I could push Seedance 2.5 with one continuous 30-second camera movement. The challenge was simple: Take one complex storyline, keep the same heroine, maintain her wardrobe and appearance, move continuously through the environment, introduce a gravity anomaly, bring in the crater, transfer the power to the heroine, reveal the creature, and end with incoming meteors. All inside one generation. I pushed it. The result was surprisingly cinematic. The character consistency held throughout the sequence. Her outfit stayed intact. The continuous tracking movement worked. The gravity effect came through. The crater interaction worked. The power-transfer moment worked. The monster appeared. The incoming meteors created the final cliffhanger. The biggest issue was pacing. I gave the model too many major story beats for 30 seconds, so it compressed several actions together. The pool transition is where the sequence loses some continuity. Instead of giving that moment enough time to develop, the model rushed her into the pool and back toward the crater. Still, I decided to keep the test. Why? Because this was never intended to be the final version. I wanted to understand how Seedance 2.5 interprets a complex one-shot prompt, and this test gave me a clear answer. The model followed the overall direction. The next step is better scene planning. Instead of forcing an entire story into one 30-second generation, I would break the major action beats into shorter sequences and give each moment enough room to breathe. My biggest takeaway: More story inside a single generation does not automatically create a better video. Sometimes better AI video direction means giving the model less to execute at once. This was a test. This was the result. And I’m keeping it because the experiment itself was worth documenting. Tool tested: Seedance 2.5 @Renoise Format: 30-second continuous one-shot Goal: Character consistency + camera continuity + complex action Result: Strong visual execution, rushed narrative pacing Next experiment: Shorter controlled sequences with fewer major actions per generation

Cover image for Here is my Submission for

Here is my Submission for the Base44 Give it a glow challenge.. Soso's Kitchen - Gave It A Glow 🍽️ Soso's Kitchen has been one of my favorite local Afro-Caribbean kitchens for years. The food was already incredible, but every order and catering inquiry still happened through Instagram DMs. I wanted to change that. Using Base44, I built a complete digital experience that gives the business a proper online home while keeping the ordering process simple for customers. The build includes online ordering with a deposit checkout, automated order confirmations, a dedicated catering booking system, an AI concierge that answers customer questions, and my favorite feature...Cook With Soso, an AI recipe assistant that creates Afro-Caribbean recipes from ingredients you already have at home. For me, this project wasn't just about building a website. It was about helping a real local business spend less time managing messages and more time focusing on what they do best. Before: Every order lived in a DM. After: A mobile-first ordering experience with automation, AI, and a workflow that scales with the business. This project reminded me that some of the best AI projects aren't the biggest ones, they're the ones that solve real problems for real people. Live project site: https://sosos-kitchen.base44.app
