A few months ago, I started working on a school management product in Kuwait — from zero.
The challenge was huge: everything was on paper. Teachers, students, and parents were used to manual workflows. No specs, no clear direction — just an idea.
Over 6 months, we worked closely with the client, teachers, students, and even parents to understand the real problems and design a system that actually works.
The result? A product with 3 main dashboards, over 200 unique screens, designed for students, teachers, parents, and school admins. A system that’s practical, scalable, and truly adopted by real users.
The hardest part wasn’t the design itself — it was earning the trust of teachers, making them leave their old, familiar paper processes and embrace a digital workflow.
Landing page design for Lumo — banking for freelance life
Banks sell control — dashboards, charts, a card floating at fifteen degrees. Freelancers don't want control over their money. They want to stop thinking about it in the gap between sending an invoice and the money landing.
That gap is what the page is built on. The product sits in a meadow instead of on a dark grid, because the promise isn't "manage your finances better" — it's "we handle the part that keeps you up." And the strongest line on the page isn't a feature: no waiting for Monday. Freelancers don't lose weekends to fees. They lose them to timing.
The proof follows the same rule. One freelancer, one number — 4% lost on every international payment. A percentage someone can check against their own account beats any adjective.
I’ve been playing with Figma Motion lately, and honestly, it’s so much fun to watch an idea go from a static frame to something that actually moves and feels alive.
So I started with something personal: my favorite track on repeat, “My Way” by Calvin Harris. I designed a soft glass music player around it, with a frosted body, a vinyl peeking out from the top, and a warm sunset glow behind it, then brought it to life with motion.
Small experiments like this are my favorite way to learn new tools: one idea, one evening, and you see what’s possible.
Now I’m curious: who’s on repeat for you right now?
