01 buffalo ss26

Concept, Art Direction & Editorial Design
Buffalo Boots, Cologne
2025

one summer, three temperatures. the ss26 catalogue stages the season as a narrative in three chapters — TURN UP THE HEAT, GO WITH THE FLOW, EMBRACE THE GLOW. built as a magazine, not a product list: campaign photography, chapter typography and product placed inside the story.

Art Direction, Web & Paid Advertising
Buffalo Boots, Cologne
2025

02 ai lookdev

Lookdev, Retouch & Set Extension
Process Study
Buffalo Boots, Cologne
2026

ai as a production tool, not a shortcut — used where budgets don't allow a second shoot day. what it takes: great source photography, precise preparation, and real retouch time afterwards. the craft is in the edit.
