What’s a constraint that made something you built better?
A limited palette, an older device, a tiny print area, one clear use case—something that helped you make decisions.
I’d like to collect practical examples. Knowing what helped another person narrow the problem can be more useful than another blank canvas.

Two designs. One idea. Two different ways to experience travel. ✈️
What if planning your next trip felt less like managing a checklist and more like discovering a story waiting to unfold?
Trailora makes discovery feel effortless, while Horizon turns travel planning into a smarter, more structured experience.
Same industry. Different design directions.
Which direction would you choose: the freedom to explore or the confidence of a well-planned journey?

Both are lovely! The second one feels more like an adventure, which fits travel well.
Smart Glasses Landing Page
"See beyond perception." Three words on the phone, and the whole page had to earn them.
On desktop, the headline starts over the edge of a tall portrait of the glasses being worn, so the product name and the product in use read as one image. Next to it, reaction, light and depth sit as three thin gauge lines, each with a one-word reading. Specs, without a spec table.
On mobile, a 3D render of the frame sits between the headline and a single Explore the Series button. One image, one next step.
The palette stays in deep navy and soft gray, so the cool light on the frame stands out on every screen.
Designed by the Hue & Machine team.

Good work
Crenaly: a booking SaaS I designed and built end-to-end for appointment-based businesses in France: salons, barbers, beauty and wellness.
The core idea: when a client cancels, the freed slot is automatically offered to clients who asked for an earlier time. The first to accept gets it, their appointment moves in place, and the slot they leave is offered next. No double booking, no manual work.
Around it, a full product:
→ Branded booking page for each business, embeddable on their own site
→ Mobile-first booking flow, no account needed
→ Agenda, client management, team roles & permissions
→ Verified reviews, analytics, Stripe billing
Product, UX/UI, frontend and backend.
Next.js · TypeScript · NestJS · PostgreSQL · Redis
Automatically offering a cancelled slot to the next client is such a practical feature for salons and barbers. Designing and building Crenaly end to end must have made those flows much tighter.
