I recently created a quick concept where you can get a free boost for your post on X... but only if you beat Elon Musk in a retro boxing game. It's obviously an extreme example, and it probably works because Elon is one of those rare personalities who has become part of the platform's culture. But I'm not saying you should make your users punch your client in the face! The point is that most digital products have become incredibly efficient and increasingly forgettable. We've optimized for clicks, conversions, and speed, while removing much of the personality that makes experiences memorable. Not every product needs a mini-game. Not every CEO should become a final boss. But almost every product could benefit from a little more surprise, playfulness, and human connection. I asked for Elon's opinion, still waiting for the reply... let me know if you want to try it out, it's already working

Very happy to share that my work is on Awwwards. Again. This is my third Awwwards nomination this year. The previous two projects received an Honorable Mention and a No-Code Honors award, so let's see how this one does. Over the past few months, I've helped Rozalia Boma bring her website to life, and it's easily one of the most whimsical projects I've ever designed. Inspired by her nostalgic, multicultural YA romances, we embraced a bold Y2K aesthetic with holographic backgrounds, floating emojis, magical mouse trails, a retro music player, draggable sections, a guestbook, a dress-up mini-game, and plenty of playful interactions. To be honest, I wasn't sure a project this unconventional would resonate with a platform like Awwwards. It breaks plenty of web design conventions, but it connects deeply with its audience. Users spend an average of 4.5 minutes exploring the site, which I'm pretty proud of. If you'd like to check it out or throw a vote its way: https://www.awwwards.com/sites/rozalia-boma-writer w

Last month I worked with @FinalFinal on a very nice project I can finally share: The new version of Ruxie, the AI Mascot of Expel. It was really cool to work on pixel art, as always.
