Developer: Branthaven · Interior Design: IIbyIV · Produced at Pureblink

My role

Art direction, camera, lighting, animation and the post-production workflow. I also helped design the exterior environments, including the campaign's "dream backyard".

Challenge

The scope expanded from interiors to a full campaign. With limited exterior references, we developed the outdoor spaces alongside the visuals.

Outcome

A cohesive premium look across the whole campaign, recognized with two BILD Awards and the CHBA Award for Marketing Excellence in 2026.
