Hi, I’m Laya. I help eCommerce brands create clean, high-converting product images that build trust and increase sales. Many product images fail because of poor lighting, inconsistent colors, or unrealistic edits. My approach is to keep everything natural, accurate, and aligned with your brand, so your product looks exactly as it should, just better. What I can help you with: • Amazon listing images • eCommerce product editing • High-end retouching • Background removal & cleanup • Lifestyle compositing • Color correction & consistency I focus on realistic results, accurate shadows, clean edges, and true-to-life colors so your images look professional rather than over-edited. To ensure quality and alignment, I can provide a sample edit before starting the full project. I also keep communication clear and consistent throughout the process. If you're looking for reliable, detail-oriented editing that helps your product stand out and convert, I’d be happy to help.

Wait, I already know what's going on. Your ads aren't retaining viewers, the production costs are eating your margin, the content looks different every time, and it's obvious it's AI. I can help you solve that!!! As an AI Video Creator & Editor, I specialize in scroll-stopping AI UGC ads, AI avatar and spokesperson videos, and short-form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Meta Ads, with consistent character, voice, and brand identity across every video in a series, so your content still looks like your brand at video #50. COMMON PROBLEMS I SOLVE Many businesses struggle with low-performing ad creative that doesn't hold attention, expensive traditional production costs, inconsistent content that breaks the brand feel from one video to the next, poor audience retention, a lack of genuinely engaging UGC-style content, and AI-generated content that obviously looks like AI. I solve these by creating professional, AI-powered video content optimized for attention, engagement, and conversions, built from your creative brief, script, or rough concept straight through to a finished, on-brand video. SERVICES I OFFER AI UGC ads with multiple hook variations for creative testing, AI avatar and spokesperson videos with consistent character across a series, AI video generation, short-form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Meta/Facebook ads, product promo and tutorial videos, picture-in-picture app or website demos, ecommerce video ads including product demos and packaging swaps inside existing UGC footage, script-to-video production, AI voiceovers and narration, faceless YouTube and storytelling content, and multiple aspect-ratio exports in 9:16, 16:9, and 1:1 for cross-platform delivery. AI TOOLS AND PLATFORMS I use Runway ML for cinematic camera moves and generative video editing, Kling AI for hyper-realistic motion and multi-character UGC scenes, Veo 3 for the most realistic all-around AI video generation with native audio, Pika for quick short-form experimentation, Seedance AI for commercial-grade ad creative, Sora for narrative and cinematic sequences, Luma for fast draft generation, Higgsfield for running multiple video models in one workflow, PixVerse for multi-shot generation with native audio, and Hailuo AI for stylized motion and effects. I use Midjourney for concept art and reference frames, ChatGPT for quick visual drafts and ideation, Ideogram for accurate text-in-image work, Flux for photorealistic image generation, Leonardo AI for consistent character design across a series, and Krea for image-to-video conversion and upscaling. I use HeyGen for talking-head spokesperson videos, Synthesia AI for corporate-style avatar content, Hedra for expressive character animation, and VEED for quick avatar-based edits. I use ElevenLabs for natural AI voiceover and narration. And for final editing, I use CapCut for fast social-ready cuts, Adobe Premiere Pro for full production editing, After Effects for motion graphics and compositing, and DaVinci Resolve for color grading and finishing. HOW I WORK Every project starts with your script, creative brief, or reference videos, and a short round of clarifying questions so the first draft lands close to what you actually want. I pay close attention to hooks, since the first two to three seconds decide whether a viewer keeps watching. For projects that need a recurring character or series, I keep a documented reference of appearance, voice, and style so later videos stay consistent instead of drifting over time. For ongoing or batch work, I set up a repeatable workflow so later videos come together faster once the format and brand style are locked in. I'm upfront about realistic timelines rather than overpromising speed and under-delivering on quality. WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME High-converting video creatives built around retention from the first frame, fast turnaround without sacrificing quality, clear and reliable communication throughout the project, attention-grabbing hooks in the first two to three seconds, character and brand consistency across every video in a series, platform-specific content strategy rather than one edit reused everywhere, professional editing on every delivery, and a genuine interest in long-term, ongoing creative partnerships rather than one-off gigs. Whether you need AI-generated UGC ads, talking avatar videos, ecommerce product videos, or viral short-form content, I can turn your brief into finished videos that capture attention, build genuine trust, and deliver measurable results for your brand. Send me a message and let's discuss your project, your creative goals, and a realistic timeline and price for getting it done well and fully on-brand, video after video.

TWELVE YEARS. ONE RULE. NOTHING SHIPS UNTIL IT SCORES. I am Edrick Anderson, a London-based Performance Creative Strategist and Designer. 12 years building high-converting Meta ad creatives for 8-figure DTC brands including SKIMS, WHOOP, Toyota, Barclays, Nurecover, Airways, Infinity Hoop, and Gleeful. I do not just design ads. I built my own systems to make sure every creative is built to perform before it ever reaches you. THE SYSTEMS adgrading is my proprietary ad grading platform. It scores every concept across 9 performance criteria before production. Hook strength, mechanism clarity, avatar specificity, scroll-stopping power, blue ocean positioning. Nothing leaves my desk below standard. admastertracker reads your CSV ad performance data and tells me exactly which avatars, angles, and static types are winning so every new design is built on real signal, not guesswork. Atria Plus is the competitor intelligence platform top performance agencies use. Before I design a single frame, I already know which angles, hooks, and avatars are converting in your category. HOW WE WORK Before I touch a design, you see the hooks, headlines, and scoring inside the grading platform. You approve the direction. No surprises, no wasted rounds. Every batch comes with 3 headline variations minimum, sized for the placements that matter, delivered through Frame Weekly batches, consistent output, and a system that gets sharper the longer we work together. THE TOOLS Magic Brief and Atria for daily competitor research and ad intelligence Adobe Photoshop for compositing, retouching, and product work Adobe Illustrator for precision graphics and brand assets Adobe Premiere Pro for short-form video and motion cuts Nano Banana Pro, Photoroom, Freepik, Higgsfield for AI imagery and lifestyle visuals Meta Ads Manager for real performance data and placement context Frameio for organised batch delivery Notion for creative strategy and brand guidelines Slack and Monday for seamless project workflow WHO I WORK WITH I take on a select group of long-term clients at a time. If you have been burned by designers who deliver pretty work that does not convert, or by slow turnarounds that kill campaign momentum, this is the alternative. Fast. Strategic. Built to perform. Note: open contracts shown on my profile are from previous clients who forgot to close them out. Currently available for new work.
