OUR CLIENTS
JÄGERMEISTER
2025
Design, production & promotional content for the Jägermeister Ultimate Festival Jackets.
This project brought Jägermeister’s festival spirit to life through two bespoke “Ultimate Festival Jackets,” crafted from upcycled military and camping gear. Designed with both style and function in mind, the jackets feature an abundance of pockets for carrying Jägermeister and technical details tailored to the needs of ravers and festival-goers. Rooted in sustainability and subcultural aesthetics, they embody the brand’s deep connection to nightlife.
JÄGERMEISTER
2025
Promotional content for the launch of Jägermeister Orange.
This campaign reimagines the brand with a fresh, vibrant perspective: fruity, playful, and crafted to connect with a new generation of drinkers, yet still grounded in Jägermeister’s heritage and its deep ties to nightlife culture.
BASSKÔSTER x PRÍNCIPE DISCOS
2023 - 2025
Documentary and cultural initiative developed with Lisbon-based record label and collective Príncipe Discos, focused on establishing a physical community space in the heart of the city.
This process culminated in the opening of Casa Príncipe on May 3, 2025. The film we produced stands as a testament to the label’s vision, its ongoing cultural work, and the unique sound its artists have pioneered, known as Batida.
JÄGERMEISTER
2025
Digital campaign reimagining Jägermeister’s legendary ingredients as twelve AI-powered avatars: The Botanicals.
Each character embodied a Jungian archetype, astrological sign, and subcultural aesthetic, complete with playlists, cocktails, and visual worlds drawn from nightlife, fashion, and contemporary art.
The result extended Jägermeister’s identity into bold new territory, engaging a younger, culturally plugged-in audience through experimentation, play, and narrative.
JÄGERMEISTER
2024
Promotional assets for Jägermeister’s limited-edition collaboration with Pantone, celebrating the brand’s new signature colours: Herbal Green and Culture Orange.
The campaign combined fashion-forward bottle styling with sensory abstraction—macro photography, ASMR-inspired sound, and vivid paint textures—to give Jägermeister’s core identity a bold new visual language.
PERSONAL PROJECT
2024
