Cover image for Redouble is a complex B2B

Redouble is a complex B2B sales intelligence platform, the kind of product that's hard to explain in a sentence, let alone a video. We distilled it into a tight 30-second paid ad that cut straight to the value without losing the depth of what the platform actually does.

Lately I’ve been experimenting with how sketching, AI and motion design can work together. This logo was originally created for a project that never went into production, so I decided to give it a second life. Sketch → references → Runway for the 3D exploration → After Effects for the final polish. It’s exciting seeing how quickly ideas can evolve when you combine traditional design thinking with new creative tools.

Cover image for Smile Pro Club needed a

Smile Pro Club needed a digital home that matched the energy of the Web3 space — and then some. The design breaks from the ordinary with an unconventional grid layout, 3D objects that demand attention, and a color system that fluidly shifts between dark and light modes. Every visual decision was made to mirror the dynamic, daring nature of crypto culture — creating a website that feels less like a platform and more like a destination. A visual journey from the first scroll to the last.

Cover image for Revisiting one of our earlier

Revisiting one of our earlier UI concepts. FluxBit was our take on how a crypto trading platform could feel if simplicity came before complexity. Instead of overwhelming users with endless charts and distractions, we explored a cleaner experience with a focused dark interface, subtle neon accents, and layouts that make market data easier to understand at a glance. Every screen was designed to reduce visual noise while keeping the tools traders actually need within easy reach, creating an experience that feels modern, confident, and intuitive. It's always fun looking back at concepts like this and seeing how timeless a clarity-first approach to product design can be.

Cover image for For the Contra x Envato

For the Contra x Envato Challenge, 'Human by Design', we built a brand identity and animated a promo video for 'Olo', an accessible crypto-trading platform. To us, the core of this challenge wasn't about creating more content with AI, but about maintaining one clear creative direction. When drawing from a massive library of separate AI generations, stock footage, fonts, and music, a project can easily turn into a disjointed visual mess. Envato served as our entire toolkit - from AI-generated audio and assets to stock templates and typography. But every asset still had to answer one crucial question: 'Does this truly feel like Olo'? Guided by the brand promise of making crypto trading accessible for everyone, everywhere, human instinct drove the entire creative process: 1. Curating over generating: Rejecting raw AI outputs that felt flat or out of context and ruthlessly filtering for what actually worked. 2. Building a visual identity: Applying custom effects to transform generic stock footage into a unified aesthetic. 3. Directing the flow: Motion design, precise typography, and timing every single movement to the rhythm of the music in After Effects. Envato Stock and AI tools dramatically accelerate the build process, but it’s the human creator who infuses the soul. It provides the ingredients, but art direction, taste, and instinct define the quality of the final result. Toolkit: Envato (Envato AI, Stock, Fonts, Audio) + After Effects & Adobe Illustrator.

Cover image for Poster and Postcard Design for

Poster and Postcard Design for Vita Coco - Brand Activation Campaign. I partnered with Vita Coco, the beloved coconut water brand, on their Brand Activation Campaign held in Paris. The event was in conjunction with a run club; they rented a kiosk along the Seine and supplied the runners with their coconut water.... and a bunch of posters and postcards to remember the day by. That's where I came in! I was commissioned 10+ designs that could work as both posters and postcards. Considering the nature of the brand activation, we wanted something that felt fresh, summery, sporty and infused with Vita Coco energy. Think running the streets of Paris, but with a tropical twist. The activation was a huge success; all that's left to say now is... Chérie, On Court? 🏃

This project is my personal portfolio website, built with Squarespace. I created this website to establish my online presence as a freelance designer and create a space where I can share my future projects. The process allowed me to explore Squarespace’s design capabilities while building the foundation of my studio website.I used Finish Layer features throughout the website, including Block Animations and custom font uploads. These tools helped me customize the experience and build the visual direction of the website without using custom code.😊 here my websites link: https://www.slnvisuallab.com/

Designed 3 posters for a local bar's Sunday jam nights, with Envato as my toolkit. 🎸🎤 Envato gave me hero images, background texture, and animated video. But none of it works on its own. Someone still has to make the calls. Human by Design: AI got me fast raw material. Making it feel like this bar took real decisions - recoloring and chroma-keying a stock video before animating, chasing a grimy texture over a clean AI render, picking one generated scene out of several for its energy - then building the composition and type myself. Toolkit: @Envato Elements, Envato AI, After Effects, Illustrator.

Cover image for Less than 8 hours. One

Less than 8 hours. One clear direction. Great branding isn't about exploring hundreds of ideas. It's about making the right decisions early. This concept went from brief to creative direction in less than 8 hours. After 15+ years, I've learned that speed comes from clarity, not shortcuts. That's what I enjoy most: helping founders find the right direction before a single pixel is refined. Here's how I usually approach a new brand: 1. Understand the vision Align with the founder's goals, audience and what the brand needs to communicate. 2. Define the right creative territory Identify the strongest references and establish a clear visual direction before designing. 3. Explore the identity Develop logo concepts, typography and the visual language until the strongest solution emerges. 4. Build a cohesive brand direction Turn that vision into a creative system that can grow into a complete brand experience. How do you approach the first stage of a branding project? I'm currently available for brand identity, creative direction, web design & development. Open to: • Full-time remote roles • Long-term freelance collaborations • Direct client projects

Cover image for Another concept from our archives

Another concept from our archives that we're still proud of. SYNTHH was our take on what an AI workspace assistant could feel like if it was designed around focus instead of constant notifications. Instead of another chat interface, we explored a calmer experience with cinematic visuals, subtle motion, and an interface that fades into the background while helping you stay in flow. We wanted every interaction to feel intentional, from the ambient UI to the conversational experience and the overall visual language. It's always fun looking back at concepts like this and seeing ideas that are becoming more relevant today than when we first designed them.

Cover image for AN ODE TO IMPERFECTIONS -

AN ODE TO IMPERFECTIONS - Making Of I wanted to create something that felt... human. A film that celebrates the little imperfections that make us who we are. So here's how I made it. First came the idea.I spent time thinking, sketching, and exploring different directions before landing on a simple thought:Our imperfections aren't flaws—they're our fingerprint. Once the concept felt right, I built a visual moodboard.I collected references, explored color, cinematography, typography, and pacing until the film had a clear emotional direction. Then came the script. Every line was rewritten multiple times until it sounded less like advertising and more like a quiet observation.Next, I generated the voiceover using Envato's AI Voice Generator, aiming for a natural, understated performance that let the words breathe. Music was just as important. Instead of an epic trailer score, I searched through Envato's massive audio library and chose a minimal classical piano piece that complemented the emotion without overpowering it. Then came my favorite part. I explored Envato's Video and Effects libraries, searching through hundreds of clips to build a visual story—finding moments that felt authentic, textured, and unmistakably human. With everything ready, I moved into Adobe Premiere Pro. This is where the film truly came to life. Editing. Timing. Rhythm. Matching visuals to the voice and music. Shaping emotion frame by frame. To finish it, I added subtle transition overlays, cinematic LUTs, and a touch of film grain from Envato to give everything a cohesive, tactile feel. And that's it. From a simple idea...to a finished film. Because AI can generate possibilities- but it's still the human choices that shape the story. Human by Design.
