PELAGIC FORMS is an experimental fashion collection inspired by Ernst Haeckel's public-domain scientific illustrations from Kunstformen der Natur (1899–1904). I used these archival works to build a custom Recraft V4 Style, translating intricate marine anatomy, organic patterns, and historical color palettes into contemporary couture, streetwear, and accessories. Through detailed product design and creative direction, I developed a cohesive collection and brought it to life through photorealistic editorial campaigns, unconventional styling, and expressive fashion photography. The project explores how forgotten visual archives can inspire an entirely new fashion identity.

The Worst Way to L.A. 🌋🧊
For the CapCut World LA Challenge, I created a short, absurd sitcom-inspired comedy about a girl from Armenia who finds the most ridiculous way to get to Los Angeles.
My creative process:
Concept & Storytelling: I came up with the original idea, storyline, characters, and comedic moments.
Visuals & AI Generation: I created the character, environments, and individual video scenes using CapCut.
Editing: I combined all the generated clips in CapCut, adding transitions, sound effects, dialogue, and sitcom-style title cards.
Music: I generated an original comedy-inspired soundtrack using Suno.
The goal was to combine cinematic realism with ridiculous situations, expressive emotions, and classic sitcom humor.
Tools: CapCut Video Studio, Suno.

For the SVGator Challenge, I wanted to create something more than just another animated advertisement. My goal was to design a reusable Instagram Reel template that could be adapted to different brands, products, and campaigns without rebuilding the entire animation.

A personal website for June Nannirin ✦
I’ve been working on this project for quite a while, and I’m finally getting close to sharing the result.
I designed a personal website dedicated entirely to June Nannirin, a Thai actress, with the goal of creating a digital space that reflects her personality, style, and work.
I created the design in Figma and brought it to life using Base44. It’s been a long process of exploring ideas, refining the visual direction, and building something that feels personal rather than like a typical celebrity website.
The project is almost ready! I’ll share a closer look at the design, the process, and the final result here on Contra once everything is finished.
More soon. ✨
