'Luminous' takes a bold creative approach, using lighting as the cornerstone of our narrative. Beginning in darkness to ignite intrigue and curiosity, the emergence of light flares beckons viewers to follow the transformative path. As the product emerges, the purple and blue hues of the lighting echo the captivating still life campaign images, offering a visual preview of what 'Luminous' has in store. Through the interplay of spotlights and a progression towards brighter full illumination, 'Luminous' crafts a compelling storyline, with each light treatment serving as a chapter guiding towards luminosity. This immersive visual experience empowers and beautifies, urging viewers to embrace skincare from within in an entirely new light.

Collagen Liquid Advance Launch Campaign




Brand: Vida Glow
Copywritter: Halimi Castellanos

Talent: Phoebe Ghorayeb

Cinematographer & Campaign Photographer: Tane Coffin
MUA: Lorella Giannini

Stylist: Rebecca Alonzo

In the pursuit of developing an effective launch campaign for Vida Glow's Collagen Liquid Advance, the primary focus was to cater to the needs of time-challenged consumers who require on-the-go collagen solutions that seamlessly align with their hectic schedules. Their top concerns revolve around convenience and product effectiveness, with a strong preference for clean and science-driven solutions that offer tangible results.

My creative approach employed a strategic viewpoint: utilising a birds-eye perspective in a series of scenarios to engage and pique viewers' curiosity. This approach served as an attention-grabbing opener before we delved into the delightful sensorial experience of consuming Collagen Liquid Advance, underlining its exceptional taste. We leveraged 3D animation to educate the product's key active ingredients, ultimately yielding one of the most commercially successful campaigns Vida Glow has seen in the last three years. The creative concept effectively addressed the precise needs of our target audience, forging a robust connection with Vida Glow's Collagen Liquid Advance.

What I was wearing




Personal Project
There’s a pervasive hunger to put our trauma to use. Yet trauma permeates every space we exist within. So where, then, does exploitation end and liberation begin? Through a collective
of mixed media works, Deelan Do reclaims the nonlinear notion of consent. In a visual conversation of vulnerability, Deelan draws on his personal experience and surrounding stories of casual trauma as cathartic fuel for momentum. Facing introspection in the hope of creating communion around the particularities of voice, control and empowerment – while
finding space to heal himself.

What might seem to be the surface is an embodiment of the underneath. ‘What I wear’ is and was not - an invitation for your touch.

MASC4MASC offers a poignant rebuttal against the general societal misconception that the epitome of beauty is to be tall, white, masculine and cis. This perpetuates a belief that other minorities are lesser and superficially eliminates an entire race or a subcultural group. The open use of “preference” is simply discrimination.
