(01) — Manifesto

Taste is a discipline.
I build image worlds —
from campaign to cart
across fashion, skincare, food,
lifestyle & entertainment.

rcd is the independent practice of a remote creative director. One point of view, zero bloat: art direction, styling systems, AI image pipelines and e-commerce storytelling for brands that want to be remembered — whatever the category.

Led by Abigail Petit

A creative director featured in Teen Vogueand a season-one cast member of E!'s House of DVF. Her direction spans campaigns and content for RCA, Sony, Universal, Nike, Wonderland Magazine, Hoorae Media (Issa Rae) and Reach Records (Lecrae Moore) — among others.

(03) — AI Styling System

Every archive piece,
styled by a system I direct — not a prompt.

I built and art-direct an AI styling pipeline for Final Sale Vintage: consistent casting, lighting and attitude across hundreds of one-of-one garments. Taste in, taste out.

(04) — AI Preshoot / costoomz.com

The campaign, rehearsed
before a single frame is shot. Desert-tested.

An AI preshoot directed for the Costoomz fashion campaign: creature couture staged across desert light. Every angle, texture and shadow is pre-visualized so the production day executes a vision — it doesn't search for one.

(05) — Client / Underneath Skincare

A skincare brand that lives
filter free. Cobalt on blush.

Full creative direction for Underneath Skincare: campaign photography, product still life, unboxing story and conversion-driven e-commerce creative. One disciplined palette — cobalt and blush — carried from packaging to homepage to holiday promo.

(06) — Client / TOSS

Aftercare, redesigned as
a ritual. Confidence, restored.

Creative direction for TOSS — a feminine aftercare system for discreet, biodegradable disposal of used and soiled products. I shaped the brand into something you'd want on the counter: tactile teal velvet, considered packaging and campaign imagery that treats a taboo category with luxury and ease.

A category that stayed hidden — brought into the light.

The imagery is warm, social and unashamed: friends passing the product between them like any other beauty essential. That shift in tone is the whole brief.

(07) — Concept / Ponder

A record you can hold.
An album rollout, art-directed.

A self-initiated concept — the full visual identity for a fictional record, PONDER. One uncanny image, latex and canal light, carried across cover, editorial and merch. Proof that a point of view travels intact from vinyl sleeve to tote bag.

(08) — Pitch / Chokopam

The soul of Haitian cacao,
bottled as a brand.

A rebrand pitch for Chokopam — 100% raw, single-origin Haitian cacao. I built a warm, proud identity around a gold cacao-pod mark and a deep cacao-brown palette, then extended it across packaging, unboxing and a campaign that centers Haitian faces and everyday ritual.

(09) — Approach

01

Immerse

Archive deep-dives, reference walls, market and culture reads. I find the tension a brand should own before touching a single image.

02

Direct

Casting, styling, light, typography, motion. On set or fully remote — one voice across campaign, product and AI-generated imagery.

03

Systemize

Playbooks and AI pipelines your team can run without me — so the taste scales past the engagement.
