What if the best way to introduce a product was to let people play first?
I'm building aftrglo - a motion tool for designers who want their work to look good online without learning motion
The app is still in dev, so for now I made a coming soon page where people can join the waitlist
And since it's a tool for designers, I knew I didn't want a classic marketing landing page
We all know how those work
But it doesn't feel like me 🤪
So I made a tiny interactive playground instead: a halftone effect that reacts to cursor movement, with adjustable settings to play with
Because designers love interactive little things
Not being sold to
And it worked!
The waitlist is growing with people waiting for the launch (which is coming very soon) and I've also been getting sooo many messages about the effect, the interaction, and how it actually works
I'm very into openness and creative support, so no gatekeeping here
👩🏫 ✍️ Here's the breakdown:
1. In Unicorn Studio, I have a scene with the logo image on the bg (the same one I use as the Instagram avatar)
2. On top of it, there's a God Rays effect that reacts to cursor movement
3. Plus a Bloom effect to make it even more glowy (because it's aftrglo, obv)
4. After that, outside of Unicorn Studio, I added a canvas overlay with a halftone effect
So the background is a live 3D scene, and the dotted pattern on top keeps reading and redrawing it in real time
Like old newspaper print but inverted:
Where the image is darker, the dots get smaller
Where it's lighter, the dots get bigger
That's why the pattern breathes and moves in real time
Magic! ✨
Play with it and join the waitlist if you want to see what I'm building 👩🍳

Goated plugin!
One of our favorite projects started with nothing more than an idea.
We helped define the product, design the architecture and launch a scalable marketplace MVP ready for future growth.
Always exciting to build products from day one 🚀

I really like how this case highlights the product journey, not just the final interface. Great work!
Every great marketing agency needs more than a beautiful website—it needs a digital experience that convinces visitors within seconds. This Marketing Agency Webflow Website was designed with one objective: transform traffic into qualified leads through strategic storytelling, immersive interactions, and a frictionless user journey.
One of the biggest challenges during this project was balancing visual creativity with website performance. The design featured complex animations, overlapping sections, dynamic content, and interactive elements that could easily impact loading speed if not handled correctly. Another challenge was creating premium animations without sacrificing responsiveness across different screen sizes.
To overcome these challenges, I built the project with a performance-first mindset, optimizing assets, refining the page structure, and implementing clean Webflow practices. I also leveraged powerful tools and integrations including GSAP for advanced animations, Spline for immersive 3D experiences, Finsweet Attributes for enhanced CMS functionality, Relume for rapid component structuring, Memberstack for membership capabilities, Jetboost for dynamic filtering and search, and LottieFiles to create lightweight, engaging animations without compromising speed.
Built as a Webflow Expert, Webflow Designer, and Webflow Developer project, the final result is a lightning-fast, fully responsive, and visually captivating marketing agency website that not only looks premium but is strategically engineered to increase engagement, build trust, and convert visitors into long-term clients.
