Are you a first-time founder and can’t seem to find a moment to post on LinkedIn?
Get yourself a Figma system filled with ready-to-use posts and placeholder content.
Change the look to your liking, adjust the text and you’re good to go.
Your potential clients won’t know about you if you’re not out there.
No time to set it up yourself?
I also do custom LinkedIn systems. Built around your branding, your tone of voice & content you can actually use.
The idea is practical and very relevant for founders. I like how the system turns content creation into something repeatable instead of starting from a blank canvas every time.
LUMO — AI Career Coach & Learning App 🤖✨
LUMO is an AI-powered career development app concept designed to make professional growth feel more personal, structured, and motivating.
The idea was to move away from the typical “serious career platform” look and create an experience that feels more like a supportive companion — with a friendly AI character guiding users through their next steps.
The product brings career planning and learning into one connected experience:
• personalized career recommendations based on the user’s profile;
• profile strength and progress tracking;
• curated courses and bite-sized lessons;
• personalized career roadmaps with clear milestones;
• skill building and opportunity discovery;
• a friendly AI coach that makes the experience feel more human.
Visually, we balanced a clean product interface with soft gradients, warm pink accents, and a playful 3D AI character to give LUMO its own personality without distracting from the product itself.
The result is a career platform that turns a complex question — “What should I do next?” — into a clear and approachable journey. 🚀
Would you trust an AI coach to help plan your next career move? 👀
The idea of making a career app feel more like a companion than a platform is pretty smart. The 3D character fits that direction really well too.
For me, it’s cultural context. AI can generate references, but it can’t fully replicate lived experience. As a South African creative, so much of my work relies on instinct, memory, language and the nuances of how we actually experience our culture.
When I’m reimagining iconic or legacy South African brands, the success of the work depends just as much on what I bring to it as the tool itself; my lived experience, cultural memory, understanding of our language, humour, visual codes and the way South Africans actually experience these brands.
The technology can help me execute an idea faster, but it can’t replace the instinct behind why something feels recognisably South African, why a certain reference matters, or why one creative choice will resonate more deeply than another.
Fabulous work, I keep circling back to it! 🤍
If AI can generate beautiful illustrations in seconds… why would you still draw one yourself? 🤨
I'm currently working on a packaging project that I can't share just yet, but one part of the process stood out: the hero element is a custom vector illustration, drawn by hand from...
This lines up with what I see in branding work. The tool speeds up execution, but choosing which cultural reference actually carries weight is the part only lived experience gets right, and that instinct is what makes the work feel local instead of generic.
