Projects

Mammoth WVH Special Edition Vinyl

https://www.behance.net/gallery/207182271/Mammoth-WVH-Special-Edition-Vinyl

For a special edition Mammoth WVH vinyl album collaboration with Decca Records, we set out to blend the band’s raw energy with Decca's iconic retro aesthetic. The album, titled The Sound City Sessions, was recorded at the legendary Sound City Studios, a historic site that has shaped the work of many iconic artists. This legacy played a key role in influencing the design direction. Drawing inspiration from Decca's 60s and 70s album covers, we combined bold, abstract shapes, geometric elements, and dynamic photos of Wolfgang Van Halen. The album artwork itself embraced this retro aesthetic, using vibrant colors and patterns to honor both Decca's heritage and the historic Sound City setting, while capturing the powerful essence of Mammoth WVH’s hard rock sound. The campaign included a video and social media carousel, designed to highlight the exclusive vinyl and the significance of the Sound City Studios recording. Using retro-inspired colors and motion graphics, the visuals draw attention to the unique artwork and the special edition release. This cohesive approach, from the historic recording location to the bold design and engaging social media campaign, bridged Decca’s storied past with Mammoth WVH’s modern rock, made a great combination to generate excitement.

Energize - Mixed Berry Social Media Video

https://www.behance.net/gallery/207176053/Energize-Mixed-Berry-Social-Media-Video

For the introduction of the new Mixed Berry flavor of Beachbody Performance Energize, our goal was to create a social media video that embodied the product's high-energy promise while aligning with the vibrant essence of the brand. The creative direction focused on bold, dynamic visuals and energetic motion that mirrored the intensity of the workout experience fueled by Energize. We used a punchy color palette centered around deep berry tones with electrifying accents to reflect the Mixed Berry flavor and evoke the feeling of fresh, invigorating energy. Sharp, fast-paced cuts paired with upbeat, rhythmic music were designed to capture attention instantly and keep viewers engaged. The video focused on illustrating the immediate impact Energize has on performance, showing athletes in motion—hitting their stride, lifting weights, and pushing through their toughest workouts. We emphasized product benefits through quick, action-packed moments that highlighted increased focus, endurance, and power. The result was a vibrant, high-energy spot that not only showcased the new flavor but also reinforced Energize’s key messaging: boosting performance and fueling athletes to push harder and achieve better results.

Tando - Investor Pitch Deck - Social Media

https://www.behance.net/gallery/207179633/Tando-Investor-Pitch-Deck-Social-Media

For Tando by Indoor Robotics, the goal was to create a visually striking campaign that would capture attention and position the brand as a disruptor in the billion-dollar security industry. Tasked with promoting their investor pitch deck, we focused on developing bold, abstract visuals that broke away from the traditional, often mundane, aesthetics of the financial world. Using abstract geometric shapes, vibrant colors, and high-contrast visuals, we crafted a series of social media carousels and motion graphics videos that captivated viewers, enticing them to explore more about the company’s innovative technology and investment potential. Each slide and video maintained the brand’s forward-thinking image, incorporating futuristic elements while staying true to its sleek, professional guidelines. The call-to-action “Get Our Investor Deck” was prominently featured with all materials, ensuring a seamless transition from eye-catching visuals to meaningful investor engagement. This bold approach not only grabbed attention but also positioned Tando as a company on the cutting edge of both technology and security solutions, sparking interest from a wide range of potential investors.

https://www.behance.net/gallery/207177183/Shop-Miss-A-Fab-You-Less-Print-and-Digital

For Shop Miss-A's "Fab You Less" promotion, we focused on crafting a visually stunning campaign that communicated both affordability and beauty. The goal was to create a message that resonated with the brand’s cost-conscious audience, without compromising on style or quality. Using vibrant, eye-catching colors such as hot pinks, and bold pastels, we designed posters, sandwich boards, and social media posts that instantly drew attention. These colors conveyed energy and excitement, inviting customers to explore how they could achieve fabulous looks at incredibly low prices. The messaging was clean, playful, and direct, with the tagline “Fab You Le$$” prominently featured across all materials, Including a call out for 30% Off. Each design element—from typography to product imagery—was intentionally chosen to reflect the brand’s fun, youthful spirit, while ensuring that the affordability message was front and center. Social media were bright and bold. The vibrant visuals and an approachable message that perfectly captured the essence of looking fabulous for less.

Proactiv - Summer Essentials

https://www.behance.net/gallery/207178799/Proactiv-Summer-Essentials

For Proactiv’s Summer Essentials campaign, the objective was to highlight their must-have products for clear, protected skin during the summer months. We created a visually engaging social media campaign featuring motion graphics and a dynamic carousel, designed to showcase three key products: Clear Skin SPF 30, Acne Body Wash, and the Proactiv Pore Cleansing Brush. The use of summer-inspired colors like green teal and teal blue gave the campaign a fresh, vibrant feel, while reinforcing a sense of cooling relief and protection—essential for skincare in the hot summer months. The carousel posts allowed users to swipe through and explore each product individually, making the experience interactive and engaging. By balancing bold summer visuals with Proactiv’s established brand identity, the campaign effectively communicated the importance of maintaining clear, healthy skin throughout the season, resulting in strong engagement across platforms.

Mas Paletas Brand Identity & Social Media

https://www.behance.net/gallery/207180115/Mas-Paletas-Brand-Identity-Social-Media

For Mas Paletas, the challenge was to create a visual identity that captured the essence of their rich Mexican heritage while celebrating the joy and vibrancy of their handcrafted paletas. Drawing from traditional Mexican iconography and typography, we developed a brand identity that seamlessly blends cultural authenticity with modern playfulness. The logo, featuring bold yet inviting type, was crafted with careful attention to detail, using green to represent their signature lime flavor. This color choice, paired with traditional Mexican motifs, symbolized the fresh, homegrown ingredients that are at the heart of Mas Paletas’ creations. To bring the brand to life on digital platforms, we created dynamic social media videos and carousel posts that highlighted their three standout flavors: lime, strawberry, and mango. These posts featured vibrant visuals, fluid transitions, and playful animations that showcased the natural ingredients and irresistible appeal of each flavor. The result was a cohesive brand experience, from the visual identity to the social media content, that captured the spirit of Mas Paletas—fresh, authentic, and undeniably fun. This approach not only reinforced the brand’s story but also helped to build excitement and engagement among their growing audience.
