Cheesymite Snegl
I moved from Australia to Denmark chasing my next creative adventure. With a tough job market and no network, I turned a classic Aussie treat into an edible conversation starter to get in front of the right people.
Jackson’s Cheesymite Snegl, a nod to Denmark’s love of pastries and Australia’s famously dangerous wildlife.
The goods
I designed the Cheesymite Snegl sticker using Sora and Adobe Photoshop, refining each creature through multiple rounds of Photoshop edits and re generation, guided by a custom Sora style trained on photos of my own tattoos.

Learning to bake
Baking taught me two things: humility and #morebutter
Hand delivering these across Copenhagen was genuinely intimidating, each box had a warm Cheesymite Snegl, a handwritten note, a QR code to my portfolio, and an ingredients list in Danish and English so nobody died.

I am better at ideas than baking. Let’s chat
What started as a way to get potential employers’ attention turned into a fun creative exercise, experimenting with new AI tools, pushing my comfort zone, and learning to bake. Networking got easier once I had a real reason to approach people, and a small cultural experience to share.
