  • Client: AMAZON MUSIC ✶ Role: Senior Art Director ✶ Project: ocial Art Direction & Production ✶ Year: 2025 - PRESENT

Four campaigns below, with receipts. Then a gallery of work I’m just proud of.

Everything here, I can tell you exactly why it worked, or exactly why I made it anyway.

01

Zara Larsson / Girls Trip

Concept ✶ Art Direction ✶ Production

I didn't need a brief for this one. I was already in the fandom, watching the energy build around the album before we had a plan for it.

The community had turned the collaborator features into the story, so I made it literal: Zara flying across the world to pick up each collaborator, one stop at a time. A structure fans could anticipate, and a joke they were already telling.

The asset was made from inside the fandom, not commenting on it.

It wasn’t commenting on the fandom — it was made from inside it.

Post on the Account, Our Tenure

Now the client's internal creative benchmark — new work on the account gets measured against this post.

02

Ariana Grande / Petal

Concept ✶ Art Direction ✶ Animation

The album had already set its own rules. Black and white, soft focus, almost nothing on screen. Most branded assets would have broken those rules to get attention. I kept them, because a fandom this attentive reads a style break as a stranger in the room.

So I built inside the album's art direction instead of around it. Black and white, the same restraint the campaign was already running. A daisy over the comment section, one petal per track. Pull a petal, get your song. The mechanic gave people a way to answer a question about themselves in public, which is the only reason a comment section fills up.

Built from inside the fandom.

Lady Gaga: 15 Years
of Born This Way

Concept ✶ Art Direction ✶ Production

An anniversary post is usually a caption with a date on it. Nobody engages with a reminder.

For the 15th, I built an interactive Story instead — the audience voting on their favorite look of the era. Same nostalgia, but the fandom got to argue about it, which is what that fandom actually wants to do.

Little Monsters don't need to be told the era mattered.

Little Monsters don’t want to be told the era mattered. They want to rank it.

Outcome: Adopted — as the account's next fandom format

No hard platform numbers on this one — but it performed well enough that the client asked for more interactive fandom plays like it. It became the template for how we approached anniversary and era moments on the account going forward.

04

Tomorrow X Together / Trading Card Series

Art Direction

Groups are a distribution problem disguised as a design problem. One hero asset asks a five-member fandom to agree on something they'll never agree on.

So: a trading card series, each member in their own frame. Not one post about the group — five posts a fan could claim.

Bias culture does the sharing for you, if you give it something to share.

Melanie Martinez / Hades

Direction ✶ Capture

The goal was her real personality on camera: playful, unguarded, a little strange in the way her fans love.

The best capture moments are always the ones where the artist forgets the camera is there. I built the setup and the direction around getting her there, not around getting a 'content moment.'

Authenticity reads instantly to a fandom. You can't fake comfort on camera.

aespa / Lemonade

Art Direction

Full-bleed color and motion built to match the track’s aesthetic codes.

John Summit / CTRL ESCAPE

Art Direction

Every direction had to feel like it already existed inside his world: the textures, the palette, the mood.

Harry Styles / Disco All The Time

Concept ✶ Art Direction

The brief was a title and a release date.

Zayn / Konnakol

Art Direction ✶ Edit

Spent time in the fan spaces before touching the footage, so I knew which moments would get clipped and reposted before I made a single cut.

Vans WARPED Tour

Art Direction ✶ Edit

Asset to promote the festival livestream.

The throughline

Work that belongs to the artist and the brand at the same time.

Reading the room before it’s briefed

I’m in the fan spaces before the kickoff call. The insight is usually already there, most teams just aren’t looking.

Insight → format, not insight → post

The Girls Trip structure, the era vote, the card series. Formats scale and get reused. Posts don’t.

Full-stack execution

Concept, design, direction, edit. Whichever the work needs. Small-team velocity, big-account polish.
