Altspace | Aston Martin DBX707 | 2024
A few of my design, lookdev and vfx contributions to the Aston Martin campaign with the incredible team over at @altspace
Tendril Studio | Moncler FW24 | 2024
A little frosty snippet from a project for Moncler’s retail boutiques - a set of winter themed visuals for large scale screens in their stores worldwide.
Created with lovely people from @studiotendril
I was responsible for defrosting FX on the mountain and ice crystal’s growth sim.
Loop Studio | SharkNinja | 2024
I was fortunate to join @loop_creative_studio team for a production of SharkNinja’s advertising, telling a story of the technological solutions under the hood of their flagship Robot Vacuum’s.
This is a selection of design explorations that I’ve created during this project.
Tendril Studio | L’Oréal | 2025
Throwback to last year’s project with @studiotendril for L’Oréal.
Here are the highlights from my work as a lookdev & lighting artist, with some minor fx work mixed in.
Shout out to @haw_danilo for energetic guidance, @richnosworthy for incredible simulations and other legends on the team for tackling this huge campaign
Loop Studio | Bloomberg BQuant | 2024
In late ‘24 I was among an amazing group of talent brought in by @loop_creative_studio to delve into intense design explorations for Bloomberg.
Our main goal was to wrap complex cloud data computing processes into a clear and memorable visual package.
The Fatalist | Unreleased Short Film | 2021
A few years back I was invited by the mighty CG supervisor and director @rborysov to design and execute various scenes for his personal project — a short film loosely based on one of the hallmarks of classic literature in a modern day cyber-punk setting.
We delved into concepting virtual worlds, AI agents (way before chatGPT came around), futuristic medical gizmoes, oppressive mind and faith controlling systems.
Even though project was shelved, the many RNDs and concept frames were laying around my hard drives for long enough. Now is the time to share them!
Loop Studio | Shopify - Commerce Components | 2022
In late 2022 I joined @loop_creative_studio for a project for Shopify.
It was open ended at first: with just the brand colors and an established set of graphic shapes, we had to embark on a visual research to find a fitting visual language.
After a few rounds of iterations project went in a different direction, but initial RND’s turned out nice nonetheless.
KDI Cockpit | Øyedrops | 2024
☁️🤖🌏
Last year I was fortunate to join an epic team as part of @oyedrops studio to create a project for Kongsberg Digital & Microsoft.
Under the watchful eye of keyframe assassin @mal_grado 🥷 and Oyedrops creative directors I’ve created several shots as well as participated in visual development & RND.
Main bulk of my work was creating shots with large scale digital constructs that represent cloud computing and large datasets.
Additionally I’ve created a closing globe shot for one of the movies in the package. Although, I’ve created a ton of globe shots throughout my career (as probably every motion graphics artist did 😁), but this one stands out as one of my favs. That planet feels very cozy to live at!
Shout out all the other legends on the team!

Heterosis | Snark.art | 2022–23
A throwback to a past project from a very brief, but intense and vibrant era of NFTs.
I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with @myshli in what proved to be a massive, 9-month-long undertaking. One of the most unusual working experiences I’ve had in my career — rather than working towards something like a set of stills or videos, we had to create a system that would produce a massive number of flowers.
This system had to procedurally build, animate, sim, and render those flowers based on a JSON input with randomized values for a set of parameters (basically, digital DNA for our flowers).
Working through (many) challenges and countless debug iterations, we created a system with a selection of 7 flower species from which we could generate a set of assets for virtually any number of unique flowers.
In the end, the Heterosis NFT collection included 2,500 flowers and was completely sold out in less than a week.

Grevillea aka spider flower
Rework of another flower from the archives. A really fun and unique flower specie!
As always, nature comes up with the most convoluted yet orderly, but eerily beautiful things.
Scavenging my work from a cancelled project for lovely people @bureauklausalman
I’ve created several procedural flower models and vegetation assets for the project. One of them being the Protea Cynaroides flower.
