Travel was off the table, so we brought the Alps to the living room. Live The Journey told the story of Evian's 15-year water purification through WebAR — scan a custom bottle and a hand-drawn 3D world unfolds, vintage travel-poster nostalgia rendered in modern WebGL. A small escape, when nobody could leave the house.

Objective

To launch Evian's limited-edition bottles with an experience that did what the water does — take you somewhere — when actually going anywhere was impossible.

Challenge

Lockdown grounded everyone. Evian wanted to give people the beauty of the French Alps from their kitchen table, tied to a bottle that echoed the slow, timeless journey of the water itself.

Solution

Every custom bottle became a doorway. Scan it, and a unique 3D story carried you up through the Alps. As creative lead, I set the concept and visual direction — marrying organic, hand-drawn brush strokes and travel-poster romance to the precision of AR.

Execution

Built in WebGL and Unity, with line art and watercolour bringing the water's path to life. I directed voiceover in English, Mandarin, and Korean, and the experience rolled out across Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Impact

It beat sales targets by 7% and gave grounded travellers a genuine moment of escape. Each bottle, each story, deepened the connection — and the work was recognised with an FWA award.
