01 — About the project

Overview

The largest immersive 7-acre attraction at the zoo needed a multi-channel campaign as expressive as the animals and trails.

I led the creative strategy and design end to end — shaping the online platform, directing the narrative, and overseeing a global production pipeline that localized every asset without losing the emotional core.
