Zen Channel


YouTube TV
Amid the chaos of digital marketing where every brand fights for attention in the first five seconds, we took a different approach. YouTube Zen was designed as a visual and auditory reset, a space to breathe. As Senior Art Director, I led the curation of seasonal scenes and music, collaborating with motion and sound designers to craft an atmosphere of calm. Instead of shouting for attention, we whispered, and in doing so, we resonated. Viewer feedback proved that in a world of constant noise, sometimes the quietest message is the most powerful.
