SARA CAMPOS
Art Direction
We rarely think of beautiful objects as being utilitarian. We see them as pieces that decorate tables, stand behind glass on shelves, adorn spaces, never to be used for fear of being broken, mishandled,
misused. With Sara’s pieces our objective was to transmit the idea of utliltarianism through playful scenes of wares in use as well as through imperfect sets where objects are curated, but don’t have the polish of a magazine ad. Using camera flash and a combination of film and digital cameras brings out the textures and imperfections in each piece, furthering our narrative of pieces meant to be used, handled, and enjoyed.

ADIDAS KIDS BACK TO SCHOOLArt Direction
We remember standing in line in the gym, waiting impatiently when it’s finally our turn to get the most important picture of the school year taken. That’s right, it’s picture day. The highlight of many kids school year. But it’s not just an ordinary picture day for us, it’s a time to really show off your moves, to take pride in who you are, and to show off your talents. We’re taking yearbook pictures, but with a twist. There’s no need for stuffy portrait poses this year and awkward moments caught throughout the year.

DIALPADArt Direction
Dialpad’s product is all about “Work Beautifully.” But what does that mean to them? These 3d renders were created to highlight the simplicity and aesthetics of the ui and interface of the virtual meeting product but also to highlight the beauty of a work environment. One set of renders speaks to this idea of simplicity by only featuring shadows in the background while another series features workspaces that have a soothing environment. The focus of each was to bring an element of nature - universally thought of as beautiful into play.

ADZONESocial Media Campaign Art Direction
Adzone is an architectural and interior design firm located in Saudi Arabia. They came to us to help start a new chapter that best represented their current brand. We launched a three month social campaign that told the story of the ethos of their spaces and their dedication to their craft. We created narratives that begin with enviting one into a new, magical space through color, texture, and material, but abstracted it to dreamlike forms. Another key component was taking existing photography or models of their spaces and creating editorial content out of it that fuels the dreamlike narrative through tight crops.

CHEMISTRYSocial Media And Branding Art Direction
Chemistry is a coffee shop and brunch restaurant in the UAE. They’re offerings are meant to feel home-made and nostalgic. Drawing from these themes of nostalgia, we referenced the age old slogan heard across news stations “Good Morning X!” and developed it into a rich narrative. We focused on the silent hours of the morning preparing breakfast, to the chaos of realizing there’s no time to eat, to working all day dreaming off the breakfast you never had - all while centering it in the nostalgia of the past by utilizing stop motion techniques as well as a combination of typefaces that slightly hinted at something vintage - but modernized for a contemporary audience.

SARA CAMPOSBrand Design
Sara Campos is an interior designer and creator of homegoods. Her identity is formed around the ideas of simplicity and “one of a kind” objects. Because each product is handmade, we want to represent this through a modular logo and a typographic o that stands out from the uniformity of the type. With simplicty, there is always beauty. In addition, the color palette of her brand was highly considered in order to inform the materiality of the products. Long gone are the feminine colors she used before, replaced by a palette that leans into richer natural tones.

HISPANICAArt Direction
To mark the first time the team all got together in person and to celebrate the creation of HISPANICA’S branded merch, candid situations of the team wandering the streets of Mexico City were taken.

GOYA
Social Media Campaign Art Direction
Social Media Campaign Art Direction
Go-Ya is an icecream brand in Saudi Arabia that asked us to create a social media launch campaign for their opening. They wanted to evoke a sense of childhood nostalgia around icecream.
Do you hear that? That faint sound? It’s coming closer… what could it be? It sounds so familiar… the memory is coming back to you. You remember hot summers and asking your mom for some change. Then, running along the beach yelling, “Ice cream!” after the man with a giant cart, carrying your favorite frozen treat.
