Future ForensicsCONCEPT DEVELOPMENT, WEBSITE DESIGN, MOTION GRAPHICS
Eight fragrances. One speculative world. Every detail from scratch.
Born from a deep love of speculative fiction and fragrance, Future Forensics is a conceptual perfume collection imagining eight scents recovered from a post-human earth.
I created the entire project from concept through execution — world-building, brand identity, product naming, narrative copy, visual direction, product imagery, and a responsive web experience. Product images were generated with DALL-E, and the site was designed and built entirely in Claude Code.
Working with Claude Code has unlocked something new for me as a designer — the ability to conceive, design, write, and ship a complete brand experience in a couple of afternoons, at a suprising level of fidelity. I had lots of fun marrying my love for science fiction with olfactory experiences, and I hope you enjoy perusing through this world as much as I enjoyed building it!

INSPIRATION
The seed for Future Forensics was a single scene from Alice in Borderland. The protagonist returns to the center of Tokyo only to find the entire city swallowed by green — vines scaling buildings, trees splitting through concrete, the skyline chock-full with overgrowth.
That image stayed with me: the idea of returning to a place you know intimately, only to find that the world moved on without you. Not violently, gently. You’re not sure quite how much time has passed since you were there last, but it’s been long enough that nature has quietly replaced everything you left behind.
REWILD is the fragrance of that moment — thick humid air, fuzzy moss coating everything, spores floating idly by. The scene also opened a bigger question for me: if a familiar place can become unrecognizable through overgrowth alone, what happens to everything else? What state is the rest of this world in? Future Forensics expanded from this single moment into eight sites, eight atmospheres, eight ways the world might smell after we're gone.
