For the launch of the new Magic Cream, the team at Charlotte Tilbury commissioned a series of 3D visuals that would place the iconic glass jar within a luminous, magical environment inspired by the product’s botanical ingredients. I led the visual direction and look-development process, directing a small team and overseeing R&D across lighting, particle simulations, and refractive effects to build a cohesive dimensional language linking hero product imagery with abstract scientific visuals. Through multiple iterations with the client, we developed a visual system combining glowing atmospheres, animated light diffraction, and a stylized jasmine flower motif to communicate both the product’s glamour and the science behind its formulation.

Role: 3D Art Direction, Look Development, R&D Supervision, Finishing
Team: 2 (simulation + lighting artist)

A collection of visual explorations investigating materials, procedural systems, and dimensional design in 3D, combining experimental research with elements developed for client work.

Selected work developed as part of large commercial productions in collaboration with directors, agencies, and production crews. My role focused on motion-control cinematography, previsualization, and translating digital camera choreography into precise tabletop environments. I also contributed to on-set technical direction, including DIT workflows, shot planning, and the development of capture strategies and compositing passes for complex hybrid shots.
