One of the most unusual and engaging projects I’ve worked on was designing an admin panel for a router.
During the research stage, I analyzed dozens of router admin panels using emulators, and found that almost all of them are hard to use.
This type of insight makes projects especially engaging, since weak existing solutions require rethinking flows, structure, and core interactions.

Experimenting a lot with AI, one thing became clear: AI can match your design vision, but only if you are specific. Vague prompts = generic results.
So here is my current process using Figma Make, before I build anything, I ask AI to analyze the design language of a screenshot to build a design system first. Think of it as a style guide where colors, typography, and spacing are all locked in. Once that foundation is there, I use that same design system to build my application, website, whatever the project is.
The result? Way more consistent outputs and a lot less back and forth.
Style first, build later, makes total sense. Feels like treating AI as a junior designer instead of a magic box.

Culturepulse is a marketplace where sports culture, memorabilia, and blockchain technology intersect. The platform allows athletes and creators to release collectible items that exist simultaneously in the physical and digital worlds — a jersey, a sneaker, or a card becomes both a real object and a verified NFT tied to a specific moment in a career.
The concept of physical + digital collectibles is so ahead of its time. And that 3D glass cube render on the orange type? Stunning 👏
