This design got rejected.
It was a dark, dramatic crypto app built around a 3D gold ring that grew with your portfolio. I was really proud of it.
I told him this would make Leap stand out from every other trading app.
He said:
"I don't want to stand out. I want people to find what they need and get it done."
Honestly, I was a bit annoyed at first. Then it hit me, and he was right.
Nobody opens a finance app to admire it. They want to check their balance, make a trade and get out.
We went with something much simpler and cleaner.
Design isn't about standing out. It's about making things work.
Next level!

Luxury Sound — Premium Headphones Landing Page 🎧✨
A premium landing page concept for a luxury audio brand, built around a bold headphone design and a refined visual experience
The design combines warm neutral tones, glowing details, oversized product visuals, and minimal typography to create a futuristic yet elegant feel
Special attention was given to:
• Product-first composition
• Premium visual direction
• Feature highlights
• Lifestyle imagery
• Clear CTA placement
• Responsive mobile experience
The result is a clean, immersive product experience that makes the headphones feel like more than tech — they become part of the lifestyle 🔥
The amber glow on the headphones against that warm beige is lovely. How does the mobile menu handle the product image?
The best part of this website might be the page nobody is supposed to see.
About 4 months ago, we launched the new website for STORY Design Amsterdam.
STORY is all about giving homes personality, so we wanted the website to have some too.
Including their 404 page.
Naturally, I put the owner's dog on it.
If you end up on the wrong page, you might as well enjoy it.
But the fun details only work if the website itself does too.
Before the launch, most of their website traffic came through Instagram.
Today, around 60% comes from Google.
And now we've taken the next step by adding a little shop, so people can buy their kitchen handles directly from the site.
Next up: a great about us page; photoshoots are already planned.
I don't design websites that often.
But when I do, I don't want to create something that could belong to any business.
It should feel like their business. Do you think I achieved that?
Great work, Bram
The thing I keep relearning: a design is never finished because someone ran out of ideas. It's finished because someone decided to stop. Knowing when to stop is the hardest part.
Damn.... Crazy colors 👏😍
