The Soul Metal Carabiner is a Ghostn collectible framed as a classified in-world artifact. Led creative direction, lore, illustration, motion, and presentation
My Role: Creative Direction, Product & Graphic Design, Writing, Illustration, Motion Design, Video Editing
Brief: The Soul Metal Carabiner is a lore-driven collectible designed as an in-world artifact within the Ghostn universe, framed as a classified anomalous object rather than traditional merchandise.
Goal: Transform a functional accessory into a narrative artifact through world-building, illustration, writing, and motion content—deepening audience immersion and expanding Ghostn’s mythos.
My Role:
- Led creative direction for the narrative and visual framing of the product
- Wrote original lore and world-building text
- Created illustrations and mini comic art
- Designed the product presentation and landing page layout
- Produced motion and social content to extend the story across platforms
- Ensured narrative and visual cohesion across physical and digital touchpoints
Teaser hero presentation of the Soul Metal Carabiner, introduced as a discovered object tied to Ghostn’s ongoing anomaly lore.
Key Deliverables
Lore-driven landing page written in a classified document format, designating the carabiner as Object-0871 and framing it as an anomalous artifact formed from experimental “Miracle Metal.”
Original mini web-comic illustrations visualizing key narrative moments and expanding the mythos surrounding the corruption in the universe, exploitation of others, and true nature of the miracle metal.
Short-form lore reels combining written text, illustration, and motion design to present fragments of the narrative across social platforms in the style of internet horror/SCPs.
Fun fact: this was meant to be a parody of Modern Marvels
Product photography and presentation designed to reinforce the object’s dual identity as both a functional tool and a ceremonial artifact within the Ghostn universe.
Closing Notes
This project explores how storytelling, illustration, motion, and product design can merge to transform merchandise into immersive narrative experiences.
