I gave myself the task of gathering some cool references of motion work for my own creative development, but I also wanted to share them with the Contra community. This one is a great example of 3D and 2D mix, with great text animation. I don't do a lot of 3D work, but I have always loved the way it looks and it definitely brings videos like this one to a whole other level. Created by the team at https://www.ravie.co/

One of my favorite trends lately is how brands use 3D objects in the identity. Love what you did here building a unique world.

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.
