I built the product my team and I actually needed: Contestify 🏆 I'm active in a community of contest hunters — we're always chasing the next hackathon, design contest, meme battle, or AI video challenge. But every contest lives somewhere different: Devpost, Contra, Superteam, Lablab ai, social media. Keeping track across all of them, as a team, was chaos. So I built Contestify with @Flowstep — one dashboard where my team and I can discover every contest in one place, save the ones worth chasing, track our submissions, build a portfolio of wins and prize money earned, and coordinate entries together through a shared Team Hub. From an idea born out of my own community's frustration,entirely prompted into existence. This is what "build the product you wish existed" looks like when it's something you genuinely need.

ONIC, Building Confidence You Can Actually Taste For this project, I built ONIC, a sports energy drink brand centered on a single belief: confidence isn't handed to you, it's fueled from within. I noticed most energy drink brands sell the same promise — hype, adrenaline, extreme stunts — but rarely the quiet moment of doubt that comes right before someone actually takes the leap. I wanted to build a brand that lived in that in-between moment, where hesitation turns into action. Creative Direction I started with the mark itself: a flame motif reduced to its simplest form, two curved streaks instead of anything overly literal like a lightning bolt or a muscle icon. Every choice after that — the can design, the ad sequence, the tagline — got measured against one question: does this still feel like quiet resolve, or is it sliding into generic "extreme sports" noise? Using Envato Envato powered the entire build. ・GraphicsGen for the flame mark and can label exploration ・ImageGen for the product renders — the three-can lineup, studio shots, background concepts ・VideoGen for the ad sequence across the three athletes ・Figma to assemble the final system and refine what AI left rough Human by Design The can design took the most rounds. Early AI concepts looked sharp but generic, indistinguishable from any other sports drink on a shelf. I kept refining the prompts and rejecting outputs until the flame mark felt calm instead of loud, confident instead of aggressive. That same instinct carried through the ad. My first video drafts kept drifting toward the same clichés this category always leans on: energy drink as the reason someone becomes brave, instead of something that simply stands beside them while they find their own courage. I kept steering it back — reworking the beats where the athletes receive the can, softening the framing so the drink never claims to cause the bravery, only to accompany it. None of these decisions came from a single prompt. They came from knowing exactly what ONIC was supposed to feel like, and rejecting anything — however polished — that missed that feeling. Created using Envato. Tools used: GraphicsGen, ImageGen, VideoGen. I didn't want a drink brand that told you it makes you fearless. I wanted one that simply stood there when you found the courage yourself.

🥟 TAKKIYA — The Keeper of Ancient Dimsum Recipes Meet Takkiya, a rabbit chef mascot for the fictional brand TAKKIYA DIMSUM. https://www.recraft.ai/project/9357de90-5816-4282-86f8-2c20a16c66b8 Name: Takkiya Role: Guardian of a legendary dimsum recipe, passed down through generations Personality: Warm and welcoming, a little mischievous, deeply perfectionist about flavor, and quietly sentimental — he believes every dumpling carries a piece of family history. Takkiya is a rabbit chef who treats every guest like family walking through his kitchen door. He's playful enough to wink while serving you a bowl of dimsum, but serious enough to never let a single fold or filling fall short of the recipe he's sworn to protect. Behind his cheerful exterior lies a quiet tenderness — for Takkiya, cooking isn't just a job, it's how he keeps a family's story alive, one warm bite at a time. From the red headband stitched with 點心, to his signature ceramic bowl, to his consistently cheerful expression — one character, countless worlds, never mistaken for anyone else.

Hi there! I decided to take on the #RenoiseChallenge and push my creative boundaries as a first-time AI filmmaker. 🎬✨ My entry is a short ad for GoWatch — a smartwatch brand built around one simple idea: what if your AI knew you better than you know yourself? The narrative builds toward a plot twist that flips the whole concept on its head — something I don't think traditional filmmaking could have pulled off as seamlessly. Working with Renoise AI was a genuinely fascinating experience. The workflow opened up creative possibilities I didn't think were accessible without a full production team. A sincere thank you to the Renoise.ai (http://Renoise.ai) team for putting this challenge together and giving independent creators a real stage to perform on. social media post (https://x.com/QiRifky/status/2071637592517542227?s=20)#RenoiseChallenge
