AI-Augmented Creative Practice
I use AI as a creative accelerator, not a shortcut.
Across character design, narrative projects, brand imagery, and video, I combine AI tools with traditional art direction, design judgement, and post-production polish.
Each project below demonstrates how AI can be directed, constrained, and refined to achieve production-ready outcomes, rather than relying on single-prompt generation.
AI CHARACTER ANIMATION
From Character System to Production-Ready Video
This project explores how AI can be used as a directed creative tool rather than a one-prompt solution.
The final animation was created through a multi-stage workflow combining character design, AI video generation, manual art direction, compositing, and frame-level post-production.
While AI was used to accelerate motion and exploration, the final result required human judgement to control consistency, physical states, and visual quality.

Current AI video tools struggle with complex object interaction, irreversible deformation, and maintaining physical states across frames. A single AI prompt could not achieve the desired outcome.

Midjourney → Nano Banana → Photoshop → Canva → Video
• Character system designed in Midjourney
• Motion and performance generated via multiple Nano Banana video passes
• Final physical states manually art-directed in Photoshop
• Clips composited and refined through frame-level editing
• Combine the video in Canva -
This project established a repeatable internal workflow for character-based AI video creation. The full process is documented below.

What this demonstrates
• AI art direction and prompt engineering
• Multi-tool orchestration
• Understanding of AI limitations
• Manual post-production polish
• Production-ready delivery
AI-Assisted Children’s Book
This project explores the use of AI in long-form, emotionally sensitive storytelling, where consistency, tone, and intent matter more than speed or novelty.
The children’s book was developed using a combination of AI-assisted writing, illustration exploration, and manual refinement to support a warm, reassuring narrative for young readers.
AI was used as a creative support tool throughout the process, while final decisions around story, pacing, and visual continuity remained human-led.

Long-form children’s content requires emotional intelligence, character continuity, and visual coherence across multiple pages - areas where uncontrolled AI output quickly falls apart. My nephew showed symptoms of OCD regarding smell and I wanted to help him understand how it works through visual storytelling.

ChatGPT → Midjourney → Nano Banana Pro → Photoshop → Layout
• Narrative structure and tone developed through AI-assisted drafting and manual editing
• Illustration concepts generated iteratively with controlled prompts
• Characters and environments refined in Photoshop for page-to-page consistency
• Visual pacing and emotional beats carefully art-directed
