ABOUT

Concept: A high-energy, premium commercial spot commissioned by global commerce platform Shopify to celebrate independent creators. Moving away from standard, dry corporate software advertising styles, the creative approach highlights the raw ambition, intense focus, and late-night drive of young contemporary entrepreneurs, matching the brand's toolkit to real subcultural streetwear and retail movements.

Execution: Produced in collaboration with creative agency R/GA, the visual architecture plays with rapid perspective switches, handheld kinetic tracking lines, and sharp urban workplace locations. I collaborated closely with Director of Photography Jonas Kolahdoozan and Gaffer Timo Bevacqua to construct deep, high-contrast shadow exposures mixed with continuous macro lenses that pull viewers directly into the hustle of independent creators under the art direction of Alice Wong. I managed the film editing pipeline myself, locking the rapid-fire visual pacing tightly to a sharp, modern tempo, with final post-production color grading finalized by colorist Mai Lasan.

Results: The campaign rolled out successfully across major global digital and social marketing networks, earning significant praise inside the tech and retail advertising sectors for delivering an exceptionally authentic, youth-culture-aligned perspective on modern digital business tools.
