Dear World

The Challenge:

Dear World marked the launch of my ceramic practice under JU + DESIGN, introducing my first collection of sculptural home goods through a cinematic social campaign. The objective was to tell a deeply personal story while establishing the creative direction, craftsmanship, and values behind the brand.

Result :

The launch introduced my inaugural collection and has since expanded into retail partnerships, with ceramic work now carried at Hotel Saint Augustine in Houston, TX and SUPERVSN in Los Angeles, CA.

My contributions:

From concept through launch, I led every aspect of the campaign. I developed the story, wrote the script, storyboarded the film, directed the creative, oversaw product development, packaging, photography, color grading, editing, and the e-commerce experience. Without client constraints, every creative decision reflected my vision for JU + DESIGN and established the foundation for the brand's future.
