The Concept

The best copy doesn't just land. It stays. These mock-ups imagine a world where campaign lines were so memorable, so lived-in, that people chose to make them permanent. A different medium to show range: from quiet and delicate to loud and traditional.

The Point

Every line here came from a different brief, a different brand, a different tone of voice. The tattoo format strips away the logo and the layout. All that's left is the writing. Either it holds up on its own, or it doesn't.

The Confession

I have one tattoo. One. It says 444. It is tiny. It lives on my ankle. I think about it constantly.

And yet here I am, building an entire portfolio concept around tattoos like I'm heavily inked. The commitment to a bit is real, apparently.

Hire me and I'll get another one. I'm not kidding. Give me a good brief and we can negotiate placement.

Exhibit A: the 444 tattoo is on the ankle. You can barely see it. I see it every day.

The Challenge

When adult children leave home, Gen X parents lose more than presence. They lose the effortless intimacy of everyday connection. Staying close starts to feel forced, sentimental, overly deliberate.

The Solution

By framing Smiski figurines as conversational catalysts, playful proxies that say "I'm thinking of you" when words fail, we created a socially native narrative that felt simple, human, and emotionally intelligent. A small object that restarts dialogue, creates shared humour, and gently closes the distance between parents and their grown children, one thoughtful gesture at a time.

The Challenge

Since the 1920s, cigarettes have been a cultural symbol of edge, allure, and identity. Quitting wasn't just a health decision. It meant leaving behind a persona. For adults 25–45 who smoke for confidence, social ritual, or relief, Nicorette had to compete with a century of romanticization.

The Solution

Reframe quitting as the sexiest thing you can do. Instead of leading with health warnings or willpower messaging, we made Nicorette feel like the bold, confident, provocative choice, turning the brand into the new symbol of control, appeal, and self-possession. A smoke-free life is the real flex.

The Challenge

Gen Z is the generation least likely to visit Rexall, with only 14.96% shopped there in the past 30 days. Despite Rexall's 120-year legacy of trust and care, it wasn't breaking through with a generation that avoids asking for help, relies on online info first, and feels uncomfortable approaching pharmacists they don't know.

The Solution

Make the pharmacist feel approachable before Gen Z even walks through the door. By humanizing Rexall staff through in-store blades, personal pharmacist badges, and a social series built around questions people are afraid to ask, we positioned Rexall as a pharmacy that comes to you, one that meets you where you are, without judgement.

The Brief

Build a brand identity for Balthasar Bloem, a luxury botanical cleaning spritz rooted in Dutch heritage. The product had to feel like it belonged on a countertop, not under a sink. A refillable aluminum vessel crafted with botanical ingredients and aroma-therapeutic essential oils, designed to stay in view, because beautiful things deserve permanence.

The Voice

Witty, self-possessed, and a little flirtatious, like someone who keeps their diamonds on display and their standards higher. Every line of copy refuses to settle. Balthasar Bloem doesn't clean your counters. It elevates them. Spritz, strut, and watch your countertops sparkle.

The Brief

92% of Canadians know what a bidet is. Only 3% of North American households own one. The task: create a Washlet culture within Canada. The barrier wasn't awareness. It was irrational fear. People who eat grey 3AM hot dogs, sit on shared gym benches, and let dogs tongue-kiss them were calling a bidet too scary.

The Solution

Hold up a mirror. You are afraid of the wrong things. By cataloguing all the genuinely disgusting things Canadians accept without question, we made bidet hesitation look absurd. "Face The Fear. Feel The Clean." A campaign built on calling out Bidetaphobia with the receipts to back it up.

The Brief

Style-driven consumers sacrifice comfort for fashion every day without question. Birkenstock releases footwear built to actually fit the way you live, and once you feel the difference, everything else becomes unacceptable. The challenge was getting people to see Birkenstock not as a compromise, but as a permanent upgrade to their standards.

The Solution

Once you experience something truly made for you, you can't unfeel it. Comfort becomes a standard, not a luxury. We leaned into that shift: the idea that choosing Birkenstock has consequences. Good ones. The kind that make everything that used to fit suddenly feel unacceptable.

The Brief

Gorilla Glue is already trusted by homeowners who know their way around a toolbox. The challenge was staying relevant with a new generation of renters and first-time fixers: people whose chaos is more existential than structural, but whose stuff still breaks the same way.

The Solution

Lead with empathy, land with the product. "We can't fix [your human problem], but we can fix [the actual thing that broke]." A campaign that meets people in their mess, literally and emotionally, and offers the only kind of fix it can actually deliver.
