I love helping brands celebrate a new direction, a new product or a new idea by playing with out-of-the-ordinary approaches to create something unique. From design weeks and fashion festivals to cinema advertisements and augmented reality maps, it’s always fun to play!

I recreated Kuwaii’s Remix15 collection in tiny paper cutouts and animated the characters dancing with precious objects that form the logo. I always associate Kuwaii with dancing because their collections are full of pieces that are exciting to wear and comfortable enough to dance in.

The homewares CHAMP creates double as objects of play. When the dishes are put in the sink there’s endless fun to be had rearranging the coasters. The creator Lauren Stellar believes in play as the fundamental building blocks for creativity and invention. I am very much on board and am so happy to have been able to spend a day playing with these beautiful objects to create this meaningful playful video.
