🚀 Just wrapped up one of the most ambitious creative projects I've built this year: Nocti.
Nocti started as a simple idea—a desktop AI companion—but quickly became an exploration of storytelling, branding, character design, UX, and AI-assisted development.
What surprised me most wasn't the final result. It was the process.
✨ More than 50 character iterations before Nocti finally felt right.
🎨 Countless design refinements to create a cohesive visual identity.
💬 Rewriting interactions so the experience felt thoughtful instead of robotic.
🧠 Learning new workflows with AI tools, GitHub, React + Vite, and modern creative pipelines along the way.
This project reminded me that good design isn't about the first idea—it's about refining the hundred little decisions that make something feel intentional.
Whether or not Nocti wins anything, I'm genuinely proud of how much I learned while building it.
If you'd like to see the project, I'd love to hear what you think:

Great approach. Fintech design is all about building trust and clarity, and this direction communicates that really well.
