Selected work

Built for the feed,
made to perform

Vertical-format creative for paid acquisition — produced against live test data, not a moodboard. This set is one crypto campaign, localised across markets and split into the angles it was actually tested as.

StaticCrypto
01

Trading signals — proof hook

Result screenshots as the hook: the claim is the creative, so the first frame has to carry the evidence.

StaticHI market
02

Crypto — channel funnel

Built to move cold traffic one step, into the channel, rather than to close in a single frame.

StaticTR market
03

Futures — gain stack

A modular layout that lets the numbers and the language be swapped without redrawing the concept.

StaticLocalised
04

Trading — question opener

Opens on the reader's own question, rebuilt per market — the promise stays fixed, the tone does not.

StaticSet
05

Crypto — drop campaign

One visual system across placements — high contrast so the family stays legible at thumbnail size.

StaticUGC
06

Signals — social proof

Social-proof framing built to survive the first two seconds of a cold feed.

StaticA/B
07

Futures — CTA variant

A call-to-action variant produced purely to isolate one question in the test matrix.

StaticAngle
08

Crypto — long-form angle

The patient angle: more copy, slower promise, aimed at a warmer segment of the same audience.

Capabilities overview

Creative, testing and brand thinking combined  — turning paid budget into a system that  compounds instead of one that just  spends. Built to be  measured, and  repeated.

Ad creative

Static, motion and AI-assisted creative for Meta, TikTok, Native and Display — built as testable variants, not one-offs.

Testing

A/B structures agreed with the media buyer before production, so every asset answers a question worth asking.

Direction

Creative direction and the visual systems underneath the ads — templates and rules, so scale doesn't mean drift.

AI pipeline

Prompt engineering and generated assets folded into the daily workflow, finished by hand where the model gives itself away.

Team

Leading designers through review cycles, and building the internal systems that keep output consistent.

My venture

Velar Studio

The same loop — create, test, read the numbers, iterate — run as a studio instead of as one freelancer. Velar is where the pipelines, the systems and the people come together.

  • Creative production

    Static, motion and AI-assisted advertising built as testable variants, not as one-off deliverables.

  • AI pipelines

    Prompt-built scenes, talent and voice folded into the daily workflow — finished by hand where the model shows.

  • Performance loop

    Test structures agreed before production, so every asset answers a question the numbers can settle.

  • Team & systems

    The templates, review process and internal tooling that keep output consistent as volume grows.

Taking on a small number of studio engagements at a time.
