Stills Trend Report
To position Stills as both a premium licensing platform and a cultural tastemaker, I led the visual direction for the brand’s 2024 Photography Trend Report and its accompanying social campaign.
The challenge was to create a system that felt editorially elevated while remaining modular and adaptable across Instagram, LinkedIn, newsletters, and landing pages.
I developed a bold typographic system and flexible grid that highlighted curated photography pairings without overwhelming them, allowing trends to be consumed as both long-form narrative and snackable content. The campaign’s rollout included animated carousels, episodic posts, and template systems for internal teams to extend.
The result: Stills’ highest-performing social launch of the quarter, praised by art directors and creatives for its clarity, cohesion, and cultural relevance—solidifying the platform as a trusted voice in visual trend forecasting.

Commercial Filmmaking Trend Report
To reinforce Filmsupply’s position as a leader in cinematic licensing and visual storytelling, I aided in the design of the 2024 Commercial Trend Report—an editorial asset aimed at creative directors, agencies, and production houses. The challenge was to distill broad commercial insights into a visual language that felt authoritative, cinematic, brand-right & flexible use across web, email, and social.
I created bold yet restrained design systems that emphasized rich color grading, expressive typography, and curated frame selections that mirrored the emotional tone of the trends. I developed promotional assets for Filmsupply’s marketing team that translated the piece into trailers, carousels, and banners.
The result was a well-received creative
asset that drove engagement across the commercial video space earning shares from top agency creatives and reaffirming Filmsupply as a go-to for trend forecasting and cinematic storytelling.
