Design systems are not just about components and styles.
In this project, we helped transform a fragmented design process into a scalable design operation by introducing a unified design system, standardized Figma architecture, team workflows, and clear collaboration practices between Product, Design, and Engineering.
The result was improved consistency, faster delivery, reduced design debt, and a stronger foundation for future product growth.

This is a strong example of the system thinking behind a scalable product—not just a component library. Bringing Figma architecture, team workflows, and engineering alignment together is what makes the consistency sustainable.

Bem came in with logo marks and colors, and we're looking for an identity to call home. After doing some research and inspiration exercises, we came up with this concept, which I absolutely love.
That recurring blue square feels like it could carry the whole brand on its own eventually. Did bem come in already sold on going this abstract, or did you have to build the case for it internally?

Kogy — AI Companion Toy / UI/UX Design
Designed the landing page for Kogy — a plush, keychain-sized AI companion that learns, plays, and keeps you company throughout the day.
The tricky part with products like this: lean too techy and you lose the cuteness, lean too cute and it stops feeling like a real smart device. So instead of the usual soft-pastel illustration route, I let real hero-scale photography of the plush character carry the whole page — its actual texture, its little smile, its scale as a keychain — wrapped in bold, high-contrast orange and oversized type.
A small character-selector strip (Lumi, Mochi, Poppy) hints at collectibility, and a live scrolling stat ticker at the bottom (questions answered, active companions) keeps it grounded as a real AI device, not just a toy.
Genuinely one of the more fun briefs I've worked on.
The live stat ticker (questions answered, active companions) is what sells the AI-device framing here, not the photography — a plush toy with a counter reads as a running system, not a static product shot.
