Selected work

Four projects, all mine. An AI creative engine, two sci-fi worlds I write and draw, and a brand I co-founded. Some of it is code, some of it I draw by hand.

AI creative engine

Emily

Designed and built solo, end to end · 16 episodes published

A pixel-cat with her own voice, look and running series. She started as one pipeline I wrote: an animation engine, a voice that runs on my own machine, sound, and a one-command render. I give it a topic, it gives me back a finished, captioned video ready to post.

Now it's a small crew. Emily runs the floor and a set of agents each handle one step, passing the work along and sending it back when it isn't good enough. I step in twice: approve the story, approve the final cut. You can look around the studio under Systems I run.

Life Was Purrrfect — the wanderer in the machine

Life Was Purrrfect

Story, character design, concept art and panels

A dark science-fiction story of mine: a cat rebuilt as a machine, alone on a derelict ship. I designed the world and the characters and drew it, running an AI-assisted pipeline that takes a rough sketch through concept, lighting and finish to a final panel. It stays my hand and my eye, just faster.

Brand identity, art direction and launch campaign

A sculptural-décor brand I co-founded and art-direct, built around one signature object: a hand-finished alabaster egg in numbered editions. I shaped the whole visual world: the identity, the product concept, the launch film, and the store itself. The campaign follows one egg through warm, lived-in rooms, then glowing as a light after dark.

Process: how the campaign was made

The campaign imagery is generated rather than photographed. I direct the pipeline, then grade and cut the results.

Syntheticore

Concept, claymation, 3D scanning, environments and animation

A post-apocalyptic Barcelona reclaimed by mutated nature, told as a dark, tender animated series. A lone wanderer and his cat move through a city where Gaudí's architecture is overtaken by stone-statue birds, mechanical rats and bioluminescent plants that heal and spread. Every character began as real clay on my desk: I sculpted them, 3D-scanned them, and brought the scans into the engine to light and animate. Made as my degree thesis and shown at IED Barcelona.
