How do you keep a brand's promise of calm intact once real users start clicking through checkout?
Mudita builds minimalist devices around one idea: technology that harmonizes with your life instead of competing for your attention. The brandbook lays that promise out in detail - tone, restraint, what the brand should never feel like. My job was carrying that same discipline into the product itself.
I worked across the checkout flow, the storefront and category browsing, and the product page above the fold - three surfaces where small frictions had quietly built up against the brand's own case for calm. The brandbook gave the rules. The UI work was making sure those rules survived contact with a real cart and a real user.
For the case study visuals, I used AI for the first time to produce product footage 🤖 - wind moving through a scene, an object drifting in place. Higgsfield was genuinely a good way to learn that workflow fast.
Full case study - actual before/after breakdowns - is up on Behance 🔗, linked below.
Genuinely curious where people land on this: generating production assets with AI is fast, and honestly kind of fun as a workflow - but there's real pushback that it's taking work away from people who used to shoot this stuff. Where do you fall on that?
The checkout flow detail is what stands out to me, that's usually where a brand's calm promise turns into three different button behaviors fighting each other. On your AI question, I think it matters less whether it's fast and more who's checking the output against the brand's...
Just shipped my own portfolio site — designed and built end to end.
No templates, no page builder. Figma for the design, then coded in HTML/CSS/JS + Next.js — working alongside AI tools to move faster without cutting corners. Custom animations, full mobile optimization, built in from day one.
Same process I bring to client work: design with intent, build it myself, ship something that actually performs.
love that custom cursor, so much cleverness in every detail!
A/B testing the hero section, same neural energy, two different visual directions. Which one looks good?

Hero section 2 gets my vote. The headline has its own clear block, while the centered neuron in section 1 competes with the text. I'd keep the energy of 2 and simplify the small copy on the right.
