Studies

Self-directed still life and product studies exploring light, form, texture, color, and composition. These projects develop visual ideas that inform the broader commercial practice.

Le Mini Macaron: color-led product visual system

A product image system built around eight nail polish shades, treating color as both the product story and the primary visual language. Individual heroes, layered compositions, translucent light, and controlled polish details create consistency across the collection while giving each shade its own presence.

Holiday: seasonal still life study

A holiday visual language built without predictable seasonal symbols or overtly festive props. Evergreen, reflective surfaces, glass, candlelight, and restrained food elements use color, texture, and material to create a contemporary seasonal atmosphere adaptable across different brand identities.
