Happy Warriors: Clippership

Fifty Years / Happy Warriors

Selected work led by Souvid as in-house Creative Director at Fifty Years.

Inside the Fifty Years case

Nico Cymbalist's plan to charge extra for green shipping was shot down fast. So the former Tesla engineer deleted the fuel and the crew, and made the cost of building the boat the problem to solve.
