CONCEPT DESIGN, COPYWRITING, FILM DIRECTION
Kauas Creative, 2024
A Night at the Airport for KONE was designed as a globally resonant season’s greeting, embracing the magic of Christmas without Western holiday conventions.
Set at Helsinki Airport, the story highlights smooth people flow—essential during the busy season—through a collaboration between KONE and FINAVIA. Using universal themes of kindness and connection, it follows an airport employee’s mission to return a lost stuffed animal. With no dialogue, the film conveys emotion in a way that speaks to all audiences.
I had the pleasure of co-designing the concept, co-writing the script, and directing the film from start to finish.
