SNOW ANGEL TOUR
Motion Graphics / Advertising
Official tour dates and location Promotional video for K-Pop group JUSTB's SNOW ANGEL N.A. Tour.
Tools used: Figma, After Effects, Premier Pro
K-Pop group JUSTB needed an animated graphic to show the tour dates and locations for every state they performed in that had a Y2K aesthetic that differed from what their in-house designer could provide.
I made 14 videos for each state integrating their current brand and album identity with a Y2K winter aesthetic. Each video was uploaded to the group's official Instagram story every day they landed in a new city.
The videos reached an audience of over 500,000 followers and generated hype and excitement for each performance during the tour.

Animated promotional teaser for American electronic-producer aerate's 2025 House album release.
Tools used: Figma, After Effects, Premier Pro
Producer aerate needed an animated teaser for his album that matched the cover and music's aesthetic. The visual direction was heavily inspired by the "vectorbloom" artstyle that was commonly found in early 2010's television advertisements and bumpers such as MTV, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim.
I created a 45-second commercial with dense urban skylines and summer beaches. The teaser advertises album-length, exclusive download bonuses, and featured artists.
The teaser was uploaded to instagram and reached an audience of over 16,000 with 900+ likes. The teaser generated a significant amount of hype, grew the artist's social media presence generated interest for the album release.
2026 | Auckland Design Week
RE:Stocked Exhibition
Branding / Motion Graphics / Video
Lead designer for 2026 Auckland Design Week Exhibition; RE:Stocked. Responsible for graphics, branding and social media advertising.
Tools used: Figma, Miro, Illustrator, After Effects, Premier Pro
RE:Stocked was an Exhibition for 2026 Auckland Design week where emerging young designers created personal artefacts that were put into a small recreation of a New Zealand Dairy/Convenience store.
Each artefact is a playful and thoughtful redesign of everyday objects to invite visitors to see things through a new perspective.
The RE:Stocked team needed a strong branding and style that fit their out-of-the-box design thinking, and paid homage to the cultural background and early 2000s upbringing of its exhibitors.
Heavily influenced by the DIY style of New Zealand Dairy's; using Improvised Red and Yellow stickers as tags and the colorful lollies that decorate store shelves, I designed the exhibitions main branding and style that would be applied all across RE:Stocked's Social media marketing, promotional videos, and physical exhibition stalls.
My responsibilities extended into
Creating onboarding documents for new team members and exhibitors
Formatting proposal documents to potential investors for grants
Designing the initial RE:Stocked Website
Filming the first social media teaser
Creating a short animated teaser for social media
The branding transformed the exhibition into a cohesive and professional experience, strengthening its presence at Auckland Design Week and online. It provided exhibitors and collaborators with a polished platform to showcase their work and connect with the design community.

Novagang Business Plushie
Motion Graphics / Advertising / Video
Advertisement for Novagang's 2025 limited edition plush toy merchanise.
Tools used: Figma, Premier Pro
The Popular Devil logo is an iconic part of American-based Hyperpop/Digicore collective Novagang's branding and image. And to celebrate this, they released a limited edition plushie with their devil in a business suit.
I was tasked to storyboard and create visuals for the social media advert for this plush toy, based on the audio given to me by the Novagang team.
Matching Novagang's rebellious and internet-based humor, the video was made to be a parody of fishy investment/dealership ads of the 2010s, post-ironically framing the plush toy as "The Most Secure Investment in Modern Finance".
The advert was positively received by fans and reached 68,000 viewers and received over 5,000 likes. Boosting Novagang's social media engagement and interest in merchandise by a significant amount.

Don't Bite The Hand That Feeds You
Motion Graphics / Advertising / Editing
Advertisement video for Retronyma's "Don't Bite The Hand That Feeds You" 2026 clothing collection.
Tools used: Figma, After Effects
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you" Was a phrase by Edmond Burke used in the 1800s as a way to shame the working class for resisting their rulers and was a way to make obedience sound like gratitude.
Nowadays, we see the people who "feed us" are often the same people that take from us such as corrupt governments and the ultra-wealthy billionaires exploiting working class labour.
This campaign was made inspire and encourage people to start "biting" the hand that feeds them and standing up to exploitation that keeps the general population docile.
I was tasked to script, storyboard and create a short promotional teaser for Retronyma's 2026 clothing collection that reflects this campaigns ethos.
The video is a parody of morally corrupt internal employee training videos for corporate jobs. One such example being one of Amazon's 2018 internal training videos that encouraged staff to avoid creating labour unions.
The video reached 22,000 views and received 2,000 likes on Instagram, boosting brand engagement.

Trauma
Motion Graphics / Advertising / Editing
Advertisements for Eckso's 2025 "Trauma - A Collection, My Story in Pieces." Clothing collection and clothing giveaway announcement.
Tools used: Figma, After Effects
Eckso's 2025 Clothing collection named "Trauma" is a personal piece of work for Robert Eckso exploring themes of regret, past suffering and moving on from trauma.
Robert needed a short teaser to promote the release of the collection as well as a video to announce a T-Shirt giveaway.
I used a soft minimalist style, reminiscent of the Nintendo Wii on both videos to convey a mixture of childhood nostalgia, trauma and hope at the same time.
The videos received overwhelmingly positive feedback with the first having extremely high engagement with over 200,000 views and 22,000 likes on instagram with zero advertising budget.
