I designed and built it end to end in a strict monochrome style. It opens with a block-letter SAIF wordmark that bulges under the cursor, over a live particle field. Further down, a dotted globe pins where I work from in Turin, Italy.
My projects play on their own in a device-style showcase that tilts into place as you scroll. Next, 3D letters spelling motivational words fall toward the footer, where they turn into a small slicing game you can play.
Built with React, TypeScript, GSAP, Three.js and WebGL, with a light/dark toggle, smooth scrolling and a custom cursor.
I started this project with an idea, a character, and a world that existed only in my head.
Now Vera Noir has an actual pilot. 🎬🖤
Building Belladonna and watching Vera’s story come to life through Cantina has been such a fun creative experience. There were definitely challenges along the way, but seeing the final pieces come together made it worth it.
This pilot is only the beginning.
Now I’m thinking about what happens after the doll remembers… 👀
