Tommaso Siveri — Art Director + AI Creative Engineer

T.S

Who I am

Art director by training. Engineer by necessity.

I'm Tommaso Siveri. I spent years art-directing campaigns for retail brands and, in parallel, built the production system that ships them. The hybrid isn't a tagline — it's why I can execute your art direction without diluting it. A pure engineer would break your guidelines without realizing. A pure designer would re-interpret instead of executing. The same hand that understands creative is the one that ships it pixel-perfect. When you don't have creative direction in-house, I can wear that hat too — campaign concept, key visual design, in-store and window visuals — then route it through the same production engine.

What I do

One source for the entire visual experience of your retail network.

I take your art direction and produce the complete deployment package — brand-applied layouts, campaign visuals in every format, and the operational guide that tells each store how to roll it out. Pixel-perfect to your guidelines, at scale.

01 / Speed

1 hour production per kit.

The system runs production in an hour — a senior designer needs 3–4 days. Your art direction stays your own, executed pixel-perfect on the production engine. A full 5-kit campaign ships in ~30 hours total, against 3–4 weeks for a traditional team.

02 / Consistency

Pixel-perfect to your guidelines.

Your brand templates, your color decisions, your typography — executed identically across every market, every store, every campaign. No 15–20 regional designers re-interpreting, no Adobe-version drift, no fonts going out of sync.

03 / AI Imagery

No shoot needed.

Commercial-grade campaign imagery generated on demand — for products you haven't shot yet, regions you haven't reached, or seasonal pushes that need new visuals fast. Your brand DNA across every frame, indistinguishable from a traditional commercial shoot.

04 / Privacy

Local engine, no data leak.

The production engine runs fully on-premise — zero AI at runtime, zero network traffic, zero cloud dependencies. Composition, layout, packaging, regional roll-outs all happen on local infrastructure. Sensitive client data — collection names, pricing, brand claims, unreleased product references — never leaves the environment because the system has no way to leak it.

Process

From campaign brief to store-ready kit in days, not weeks.

Brief

Campaign concept and product focus from your marketing or VM team. Single conversation, no agency triangulation.

Art direction in

Brand guidelines, campaign templates, layouts, color and material decisions: by default, all from your side and ingested as the production spec. No in-house creative team? I provide art direction as an add-on — campaign concept, key visual design, in-store and window visuals — designed to your brand DNA.

Production

The local engine takes your art direction and campaign imagery — supplied by you, or AI-generated on your behalf when no shoot is on the table — and assembles pixel-perfect layouts, per-region adaptations, and print-ready packages in every format.

Deployment kit

Stores receive a complete operational guide: where to place each asset, how to set fixtures, how to compose windows. Roll-out, not interpretation.

AI Imagery · Sample campaigns

Same direction, every category.

Eight AI-generated samples of the campaign imagery I produce: art-directed, brand-consistent visuals built from single product references, indistinguishable from a traditional commercial shoot. The same lighting language, palette, surfaces and mood translate across every category and product type — consistency at scale, by design. Ready to be deployed as standalone photography, or to feed into a full kit production. The products shown are fictional references built for this demo — client work remains confidential under NDA.

Case study

BATA Brands SA — global footwear retailer producing seasonal campaigns across 8,000+ stores from a single source.

Multi-brand portfolio, presence in over 100 countries. ~60 complete campaigns per year. Replaced the fragmentation cost of a distributed regional design team without sacrificing speed or scale.

30×

Faster on production, per kit. 1 hour against 3–4 days of manual design work.

5×

Faster per multi-kit campaign. ~30 hours of total work, creative direction included, against 150 hours (3–4 weeks) for a manual team.

3–4

Senior designers replaced. One creative voice, one consistent execution across every market.

What ships per kit

Visual design Print-ready PDFs Hi-res JPGs Web-optimized JPGs Full InDesign package KV Overview (single-PDF preview of the campaign) VM operational guide

Visual design — windows, fixture layouts, in-store applications — designed to the client's art direction and delivered alongside the production kit. The VM operational guide alone is a 40+ page document auto-generated for every campaign — the kind of artifact a Visual Merchandising team typically rebuilds from scratch every quarter. Every file is production-standard and fully editable. Internal designers can iterate, print partners can fix bleed, regional teams can localize copy or swap a product at the last minute — without ever touching the system. The automation lives in the production layer, not in the deliverable.

And when no shoot is budgeted for a campaign, I can AI-generate the campaign imagery on your behalf — commercial-grade, art-directed, brand-consistent, indistinguishable from a traditional shoot — then route it through the same local kit engine. One more line gone from the production budget.
