Just published: Renewd — a subscription renewal tracker
Most people underestimate their subscription spending by more than double, and forgotten free trials quietly turn into charges they didn't plan for. Instead of building another budgeting app, I focused this project on one specific moment: catching a renewal before it charges, not after.
A few things I'm proud of in this case study:
A countdown that only appears within a genuine 48-hour urgency window, not manufactured pressure
Cancel/Keep actions built directly into the push notification, so acting on a renewal never requires opening the app
Trust-first account linking, where manual entry is offered as an equal option, not a fallback
This project was as much about scoping discipline as visual design, cutting budgeting, bill-splitting, and shared-subscription features to stay focused on the one problem that actually mattered.
Full case study now live on my profile. Open to feedback, and always happy to chat about UX process, product scoping, or fintech design.

AURA — Luxury Fragrance Website 🌸✨
AURA is a luxury fragrance website concept built around softness, atmosphere, and product storytelling.
The goal was to make the perfume feel almost weightless — combining dreamy skies, delicate pastel tones, translucent UI elements, and an oversized product visual to create an emotional first impression.
Special attention was given to:
• a product-focused hero that makes the fragrance the main visual anchor
• soft glassmorphism cards for fragrance notes, pricing, and product details
• an airy pastel palette inspired by clouds, light, and floral notes
• elegant typography that adds a premium editorial feel
• a fragrance selector that introduces different scents without distracting from the hero
• clear product discovery and shopping actions
• a mobile experience that keeps the same immersive visual atmosphere
• a lightweight mobile menu with product discovery and social touchpoints
The result is a soft, premium digital experience that combines luxury storytelling with clear e-commerce functionality.
Looking to create a distinctive website for your beauty, fragrance, or lifestyle brand? Let’s create something memorable ✨
The typography fits the fragrance vibe perfectly 🌷
Aurum - Brand Identity System
When Aurum came to me, they had a name and a vision a studio that wanted to feel deliberate, architectural, and unapologetically bold in every space it touched. No logo, no system, just a line that stuck with me from our first conversation: "every wall is a decision."
That phrase became the seed for the entire identity. I started with the simplest possible geometry a square split by a triangle and built the mark from a strict construction grid so it would hold its proportions at any size, from a business card to a building-mounted sign. Once the mark was locked, I stripped the palette down to black, white, and grey. No color to hide behind just contrast, shadow, and negative space doing the work.
From there, the system grew outward: letterpress-style stationery with generous shadow and texture, exterior signage designed to read cleanly against brick and daylight, a minimal mobile app screen, and a tote bag that turned the brand's own tagline into a quiet piece of merchandise. Every touchpoint had to pass the same test does it still feel like Aurum at this scale, in this material, from this distance?
The result is an identity that's confident without shouting restrained enough for a business card, strong enough for a wall.
Curious how I'd approach building out a system like this for your own brand want to talk through it?
