What if a luxury car brand could be designed entirely from first principles?
VELARIS is a self-initiated concept exploring branding, motion design, cinematic storytelling, and AI-assisted creative direction to build a complete premium EV identity.
More than a logo, the goal was to create an experience where every frame feels intentional.
Tools: Figma • Photoshop • After Effects • Premiere Pro • AI Creative Direction
The concept to reality framing paired with that cinematic reveal video is a genuinely complete pitch, not just a logo and a moodboard. How long did the full VELARIS build take from first sketch to the final motion piece?
Thank you! It was about three weeks of exploration, iteration and refinement. From the first sketch to the final assembly, the objective was for each decision to contribute to the same story: to demonstrate that luxury can be expressed through simplicity and intention.
So clean, so well.

Putting this out there 👋
I’m opening up for freelance work and looking to connect with founders, startups, and teams that need help shipping.
I can help with:
→ Building React/Next.js applications
→ Turning Figma designs into polished production experiences
→ Redesigning and improving existing products
→ Frontend architecture and UI development
Over the last 3+ years, I’ve worked with startups to design and build products, most recently leading the redesign and frontend development of SpacesOS- from product UI to the marketing website.
If you’re building something and need an extra pair of hands, or know a founder who could use help, I’d really appreciate an introduction.
Happy to chat (New here)🤝
Beautiful execution.
How do you design a brand that represents growth… without relying on the usual leaf or tree icon? 🌱🤔
That's the creative challenge I explored with Growspire.
Growth is often visualized through plants, but I wanted this identity to feel more strategic, modern, and future-focused rather than predictable. Instead of following common symbols, I focused on upward movement, clean geometry, balanced proportions, and a minimal mark that communicates ambition, progress, and momentum.
Every curve and angle was carefully refined to create a logo that feels timeless, scalable, and instantly recognizable across digital and print applications.
This is more than just a logo—it's the foundation of a brand built to inspire confidence, innovation, and long-term growth.
I'd love to hear your thoughts... If you had to communicate growth without using a leaf, what symbol or concept would you start with? 💬🌿
Great work
I just finished developing the new website for 11h59! 🚀
I’m incredibly happy with how it turned out, and more importantly, the client is even happier.
Here’s a quick look at what went into it:
5+ custom-designed pages
Tailored, smooth animations
Fully optimized SEO from the ground up
Can't wait to start the next project! 💻✨
Take a look at the final result here: https://11h59.fr/
I love the parallax effect in every photo, give it depth and extra dimension of the environment! No to mention filling text is smart move to help user reading! This is nice touch!
