  • Tools: After Effects, Cinema 4D, Procreate.
  • Role: Concept, Design, Animation.

This is a speculative spot centered on Ashwagandha, a herbal supplement which helps with anxiety and stress. Stress is depicted with repetitive, heavy, chaotic visuals; a 3D, herb-inspired capsule enters as the pivot, and the scene resolves into smooth, clear, quiet moments that read as calm.
