02 — PERSONAL PROJECT
A place with its own atmosphere.
ART DIRECTION / COLOR / DIGITAL PRESENTATION
An after-dark setting for a personal digital archive, built around a familiar handheld-console shape.
The visual direction brings together worn surfaces, a violet sky, warm street lighting, and the gloss of a black console. Repeated colors connect the environment and interface.
The project was developed with AI-assisted imagery and implementation. This selection focuses on the visual concept and its presentation.

Notes on the composition
Color holds it together.
The same violet and pink tones recur across the environment and the interface. Amber light introduces a warmer focal point.
Texture creates contrast.
Weathered wood and layered graffiti sit behind a smooth, dark console. The contrast gives the central object a distinct silhouette.
The frame creates order.
A regular image grid and a small number of navigation choices give the detailed background a clear structure.

I’m interested in visual merchandising and sales roles where I can work with clothing, develop thoughtful presentations, and contribute to the store experience.
