La Sirena


A romantic hospitality concept inspired by the Mediterranean siren mythos and coastal maximalism.

What started as a collection of texture boards and tonal experiments grew into something much more immersive. La Sirena is where “Nautical Nana meets Sea Witch Creative Director”—a full-spectrum hospitality concept built with Midjourney, Adobe, and some serious scent memory magic.

This portfolio piece explores how generative AI can shape a brand world from the inside out: custom lipstick collabs, concierge hand soap gifting, editorial campaigns, email strategy, and in-room guest moments that feel more whispered spell than welcome packet.

Everything here was art-directed, styled, and written by me, with a focus on building systems that scale—whether that’s a product label, a moodboard, or a soft-touch in a guest suite.

Type: AI Creative Direction
Tools: Midjourney, ChatGPT
Role: Art Direction, Prompt Design, Styling & Mood Curation
Year: 2025

Objective:
To prototype an immersive boutique hotel identity using generative tools—defining the brand through architectural storytelling, still life styling, and atmospheric design.

Hot Dog, Siamese aesthete and head of vibes

“As someone who spends most of his day sunbathing, judging décor, and watching Pride & Prejudice with the volume at max—this hotel is clearly designed for royalty. I approve of the seashell motifs, the maximalism, and the potential for velvet chaise lounges by every window. Frankly, I would like to haunt it.”

— Me, probably.

"It’s coastal comfort, curated by a sea witch with impeccable taste in florals and a faint scent of salt air. I want to live here."

  • To create the visuals, I developed a custom prompt system focused on emotional lighting, high-resolution material textures, and niche design references (Isabel López-Quesada meets sea witch meets Cath Kidston). I iterated 30+ variations before refining the final visual system.

  • I imagined not just a single room—but a full guest journey, from lobby to products in the gift shop. The concept is modular and campaign-ready, suitable for interiors, packaging, content, and seasonal rollout.

  • Using Midjourney and Firefly allowed me to ideate faster, play with aesthetic contradictions, and generate cohesion across formats. I integrated AI visuals into real-time brand thinking and prototyping systems.
