Nostalgic Storytelling Through AI
A cinematic AI video project dedicated to the atmosphere of Ukraine in the 2000s. I used AI tools and prompt engineering to transform nostalgic memories into an emotional visual experience that resonates with audiences through storytelling and authentic details.
Really nostalgic and relatable

Skill Assessment Matrix is a SaaS designed to help Product Designers and UI/UX Designers better understand their current level, identify their strongest skills, and build a personalized growth roadmap
The idea came from a problem I experienced early in my career:
"𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙤 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙞𝙛 𝙄'𝙢 𝙖 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙧, 𝙈𝙞𝙙-𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡, 𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙧 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙚𝙧?"
This first version is focused on the desktop experience and was designed as the foundation for a larger SaaS product
𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗟𝗘𝗠
Designers often struggle with:
✦ Understanding their current level
✦ Identifying their strongest skills
✦ Knowing what to improve next
✦ Creating a clear career growth plan
𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡
Skill Assessment Matrix helps designers answer three simple questions:
✦ Where am I today?
✦ What are my strongest skills?
✦ What should I focus on next?
The product guides users through a complete career planning flow:
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭 [Career Goals Setup] Users define their career goals and desired direction
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮 [Self Assessment] Users evaluate their current skills across multiple competency areas
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯 [Summary] The system generates a personalized overview highlighting strengths and growth opportunities.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰 [Roadmap Builder] Users receive a personalized roadmap and can further customize it by adding their own skills
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱 [PDF Export] The final roadmap can be exported as a PDF and used as a practical career development plan.
⚡️This roadmap generation and export flow became one of the most valuable features of the project⚡️

Love this
I could just generate random shots all day. Oddly its somewhat similar to the feeling I got when I first picked up a camera and randomly shot things.
These were all created with Midjourney and Seedance 2.

Memory Bank is a private family app designed to capture the small moments that usually get lost.
We take thousands of photos every year, but the little things often disappear: a note before a test, a flower picked on the way home from school, a funny photo of the family cat, or a simple “good luck” message from a parent.
Memory Bank gives families a shared space where they can add photos, notes, and emojis throughout the day. These contributions form a collaborative daily memory that lives on the home screen as a widget.
At midnight, the day’s memory is automatically captured as a Polaroid and saved to a family archive. Over time, families build a collection of memories together, one day at a time.
For this project, I wanted to experiment with a different design workflow.
Instead of starting in Figma, I used Codex and the Build-iOS-App workflow to generate a working Swift prototype first. My goal was to validate the interaction and product flow before investing time in visual design.
Once the concept felt promising, I used Figma MCP to bring the app screens into Figma, where I explored different visual directions, refined the user experience, and iterated on the overall concept.
I then used Figma Make to prototype key interactions and validate the experience before bringing those improvements back into the app.
Finally, I created the launch trailer and supporting assets using Hyperframes, Codex, and Figma MCP, allowing me to iterate on both the visual design and the story as the concept evolved.
The result was a workflow that felt much more fluid than the traditional path of Idea → Design → Prototype → Build.
Instead, the project evolved through a continuous loop of Idea → Prototype → Figma → Prototype → Launch.
Memory Bank started as a Makeathon experiment, but quickly became something I genuinely want to build for my own family.
