Direct. Efficient.
Full Ownership.

Working Together

Every project begins with a mutual NDA. Your brief, brand identity, strategic direction, and all materials shared during collaboration remain strictly confidential. My proprietary workflow and creative process for AI-assisted generation are protected under the same agreement. Confidentiality is reciprocal. — neither party may disclose any element of the engagement without written consent from the other.

I create brand-aligned visual content for US agencies and brands across five disciplines: Stylized Storyboards, Brand Visuals, Campaign-Ready, Activation Visuals, and Scored Previz.

For AI-assisted deliverables — Brand Visuals, Campaign-Ready, and Scored Previz — every project includes a complete authorship file: original sketches, compositional decisions, directorial annotations, and the full chain of creative refinements from research to final image. Under current U.S. copyright law, purely AI-generated works receive no protection — but works where a human exercises substantial creative control over composition, selection, and expression do. My process is designed to meet that standard. You receive imagery with a documented human authorship trail that supports copyright registration with the U.S. Copyright Office, in line with its January 2025 guidance on AI-assisted works and the March 2026 Supreme Court reaffirmation that human authorship remains the bedrock requirement.

Upon full payment, exploitation rights transfer to you under terms defined in the project agreement — including scope of use, territory, duration, and permitted adaptations. These terms are negotiated per project. They reflect what you need, not a blanket license.

Stylized Storyboards and Activation Visuals are delivered as traditional creative work under standard illustration terms. Rights in these works are defined in the project agreement and follow the same principle: scope, territory, and duration are agreed before work begins.

All invoicing is in US dollars. Payment terms, milestone structure, and late-payment provisions are defined before work begins. Every project is scoped individually — a conversation about your brief is the only honest way to define what it requires and what it is worth.

IDEAL APPLICATIONS

  • When the board needs to feel like the campaign, not a technical diagram of it.

  • Luxury, premium, and high-concept briefs where visual specificity matters at every stage of production.

  • As first base for AI generation.

BRAND VISUALS 

A bespoke visual process merging high-level brand strategy with precision-engineered imagery. Drawing on deep visual research and extensive industry experience, I deliver high-definition assets fundamentally aligned with the brand's DNA.
 

DELIVERABLES

  • Original pencil sketch establishing composition, spatial logic, and directorial intent.

  • A fully documented creative file: every visual decision traceable from initial research to final image. This file constitutes proof of human authorship and artistic originality — essential for copyright ownership in
    US jurisdictions.

  • 4K final imagery.

  • Full prompt architecture in text form, curated through a proprietary multi-stage research process. This document is part of the deliverable and part of the authorship trail.
     

IDEAL APPLICATIONS

  • Agency Pitch Decks: Delivering the "white-glove" visual care necessary to win luxury accounts.

  • Pre-Production Benchmarking: Establishing a visual proof-of-concept before heavy production investment.

  • Motion Anchoring: Precise IN and OUT frame guidance for consistent AI video generation.
     

CAMPAIGN-READY PRINT & OUTDOOR 

Designed for brands ready to integrate AI at the heart of their global campaigns. This tier moves beyond concepting into high-end production, ensuring every pixel meets the most demanding standards of print and outdoor advertising. The goal is to create imagery with a complete authorship trail — from initial sketch to final retouched asset — that supports genuine copyright ownership.

DELIVERABLES

  • Artistic Intent Statement: A detailed written approach explaining the image's intended meaning and symbolic reach, written and signed by hand, accompanied by an original sketch. This reflects my artistic direction or my interpretation of the art director's creative intentions.

  • A complete project file documenting the creative chain: research, composition, directorial decisions, and iterative refinements. Every stage is traceable and attributable to human creative direction.

  • 4K final imagery, upscaled to campaign requirements and meticulously retouched to eliminate any artifact — by hand or through inpainting.
     

DEPLOYMENT READINESS

  • Revision rounds focused on production-ready detail, including test prints at multiple scales.
     

POST-PRODUCTION SUPPORT

  • Expert coordination for legal and copyright review, and technical support during launch.
     

ACTIVATIONS VISUALS 

High-fidelity visualization of environmental, cultural, or spatial activations.

I create the images that help you pitch, approve, and communicate complex ideas.

DELIVERABLES  

  • Hand-drawn originals produced to your specifications

  • Hand-painted originals produced to your specifications
     

TRACK RECORD

  • Concept illustrations for Gad Weil (French environmental artist) Multiple urban regeneration projects deployed in French cities.

  • Event imagery for We Are Family Studio (UK) — multi-brand festival activations.

​​

WHEN TO BOOK 

  • You need to pitch about ecology or a festival to stakeholders

  • You have a concept but need it visualized for approvals

  • You're seeking funding and need compelling imagery
     

SCORED PREVIZ

Creating a previz mobilizes a large number of the steps previously described. Previsualization requires the constitution of product bibles, character sheets, space references, and lighting references — all developed through a proprietary methodology available for review during a project call.

Like the storyboard, previz is an excellent tool for controlled production when budgets are high. 60% of a shooting budget is spent on logistics — it only takes the previsualization to save one or two shots or sets to justify its cost and value.

The sound design accompanying the previz is developed to convey intentions of spatialization, tonality, sound effects, and mixing, among many other dimensions. Delivery formats available: Stereo, 5.1, and 7.1. All footage is delivered at 4K UHD, processed through a dedicated cinematic upscaling pipeline to ensure stability and clarity at full agency screening-room scale.

AI production does not replace real shooting in most high-stakes films. There is the authenticity issue, and the reality that current models struggle to adapt to the true needs of product portrayal: new garments, novel textures, and specific design elements can only be represented in an approximate rather than strictly precise way — at least not with ease and speed as of early 2026. Commerce cannot be held to what a model learned three to six months ago. Nevertheless, previz is largely unaffected by this limitation, because AI can get "close enough" for the purpose.

That said, AI is an excellent tool for anticipating lighting, materials, framing quality, camera choices, actor movement, and micro-gestures, as well as invented or real locations. A previz is a film meant to be surpassed by the real shoot, through the nuance and authentic dimension of reality. The task at hand is to ensure that narrative continuity, actions, emotions, and the rendering of textures under shifting light conditions are all agreed upon before arriving on set.
By carrying out this pre-production work and pre-agreeing on the edit with the client, the team arrives better prepared and works more efficiently: you shoot what you need, because you already know your final cut.

Share the scope of your project. I will define and defend a budget that is coherent with your production ambitions.
