This space was born out of a studio experiment: stripping away hype to examine the 9060 silhouette from New Balance through the lens of quiet luxury, brutalist architecture, and editorial cinematography.
We realized that designers, digital creators, visual artists, and style purists share a unified vision: footwear is not a commodity to flip, but a canvas for world-building, campaign concepts, and high-end creative direction.
What Happens Inside: The 9060 Collective is a private studio and exchange for those of us who treat footwear as modern design:
Visual Direction & Case Studies: In-depth breakdowns of editorial campaigns, lighting setups, studio pedestals, and color palettes that elevate footwear imagery. Creative Workflows: Prompt engineering, 3D modeling, and conceptual pipelines for crafting next-generation brand assets and visual stories. Curated Discussions: Unpacking craftsmanship, material innovation, silhouette evolution, and styling—completely free from the noise of mainstream forums.
Collaborative Feedback:Direct, constructive critiques on your creative projects, renders, lookbooks, and design experiments.
Form over noise. Architecture over hype. Welcome to the collective.
I explored how motion could make a brand identity more dynamic and memorable through a visual experiment for Kenotic. I developed a visual direction around its logo and green palette, then animated the elements into a cohesive brand narrative.
The brief was to explain a complex AI learning platform clearly within a tight deadline. I shaped the concept and animation around the voice-over and brand, simplifying technical features into a modern story that helped the studio land more projects.
The brief was to make complex property software easy to understand in a short demo. I focused on its core value, redesigned the technical UI and used 2D animation to create a clear, engaging story that highlighted the product’s benefits.
The brief was to make advanced AI capabilities clear and on-brand. I developed a clean SaaS visual language with simplified illustrations, smooth transitions and 2D animation, turning complex workflows into an engaging story that’s easy to follow.
