Fire Fighting Koala
The 2019–2020 Australian bush fires were the worst the world has ever seen devastating the bushland. Our national icon, the koala, nearly became extinct.
The Bear In There: A Quarantine Story
“The Bear in There: A Quarantine Story” is the story of a teddy bear trying to figure out why he’s spending so much time in his cupboard and it was designed to help people not only talk to kids about this ongoing quarantine but to make kids feel proud for doing such a good job.
The Slave Bracelet
Between all the commotion around Zwarte Piet (Black Pete), Negerzoenen (N*ggerkisses) and other racist names and symbols in the Netherlands, we noticed something else. There was a product called Slavenarmband (Slave Bracelet) in Dutch jewelry stores.
Catch it Quicker 5ticker
This project was created to help women to catch early signs of breast cancer by changing behavioural habits – we want to incorporate checking our boobs into our contraceptive routine by applying a reminder mechanic onto birth control pill packets. If our stickers can help even one person then that would mean the world to us to have helped potentially save a life. Seeing multiple campaigns that tell us the importance of self-checking and show us how to check our boobs, but not when the optimum time is to check ourselves made us want to create this side project.
The Legal Burqa
There are countless people infected with the virus of racism, many of them even appearing asymptomatic. In these times where the world is fighting against Covid-19, racism is also heavily under attack from all sides. This resistance piece, touches on the most serious form of racism. De jure racism, which means racism by law. I can hear you thinking. How can law be racist?
Film Festival – Mujeres Tras La Cámara
Women Filmmakers only make up to 15% of the film industry. Yet when I was in Film School I was surrounded by talented women who aspired to direct. And we were no exception, 50% of film students are women.Apparently, once they graduate they vanish. My best friend and I decided to create a Film Festival to prove it wrong, the first Festival in Spain where upcoming female directors could showcase their work. We had no experience and knew no one in the industry, but we had to make it work.
Eco-Piggybank
One of the reasons I chose to pursue an advertising career is to use my platform to take on social issues. Eco-Piggybank is an idea that would reduce/eliminate waste, and my inspiration came from my nieces and nephews who go through soo many piggybanks because they’re always breaking them. So, I thought of creating something that would be environmental-friendly and eliminate waste. Ice piggybank not only reduces waste, but it also allows kids to experiment by turning a liquid phase into a solid phase and ultimately teaching them personal responsibility to the world.
MyLinkIsYourLink
These days, every creative professional has an online portfolio. Unfortunately, not every creative currently has worked, due to the difficulties imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic on our industry. With that in mind, we created a project that gives visibility to those who are in need of a job. A simple HTML code that turns good portfolios into portfolios for good. An initiative that encourages creatives who have work to redirect part of their portfolio to those who don’t. It’s a simple principle: people who have work don’t need as much visibility right now. On the other hand, those who don’t have never needed it so much. So it’s only fair and empathetic to give them that space.
Blackout the Hate
In a world that is beginning to feel like a lot of hate, this poetry project is an attempt to find some heart. A political speech, an insensitive comment, a breakup text or a pink slip – I asked my Instagram followers to DM me whatever had them down. Then, I #BlackoutTheHate and find the messages of hope and empowerment hiding within.
P is for Pandemic
We created a children’s book about the coronavirus with 26 unique illustrations for each letter of the alphabet for parents, kids and people who needed a little humor and entertainment in their life. Instead of focusing on the doom and gloom, we wanted to create an outlet for people that informed them, but also made them smile. We choose to distribute the children’s book as a free digital download. And asked people, if they could, to make a contribution to No Kid Hungry, an organization that helps feed children who rely on school meal programs. We raised over $4,000 dollars for children in need and allowed a team of talented creatives to use their skills to try and help others during a time when everyone was feeling helpless.
