I used to over-design every section “for fun.”
Extra animations.
More visual effects.
More interactions.
More ways to make a section stand out.
Then client feedback taught me something important:
Restraint is a design skill not a lack of creativity.
Not every section needs to be the hero.
Sometimes the strongest design decision is removing something that doesn’t need to be there.
Good design isn’t about showing how much you can add.
It’s knowing what to leave out.
Restraint being a skill rather than a lack of ideas is something I wish more clients understood too, they tend to equate more with better. What's the one thing that almost made the cut this time but you ended up cutting anyway?

Option 1 — Bold & Editorial
Two directions. One brand. Which one wins? 👀
I explored two different visual approaches for the same coaching website — each with its own personality, typography, color, and visual energy.
A — Bold, dark & editorial
B — Bright, elegant & modern
If you were the client, which direction would you choose?

Both directions look strong, but I’m leaning toward A Bold, dark & editorial 👀 It feels more distinctive and has a stronger visual personality. Would love to see where you take it next! 🔥
PlanetF1 Rebrand 🏁
PlanetF1 is one of the world’s leading independent Formula One media platforms, established in 1999 and part of the Planet Sport Group. Known for its global audience and trusted race coverage, it delivers breaking news, analysis and live weekend reporting to millions of F1 fans worldwide.
I led the rebrand and wider visual overhaul of the platform. Working closely with key stakeholders, I drove the research and discovery phase before designing and presenting a refreshed identity system built to position PlanetF1 as a modern, digital-first brand for Formula One audiences.
The identity needed to feel fast, precise and unmistakably connected to the sport, while elevating the platform’s presence within an increasingly competitive sports media landscape. It also needed to support high-frequency publishing across news, live coverage and social content.
The final identity introduces a new icon inspired by the Formula One “mini-map”, acting as a directional system to reflect speed, positioning and race tracking. Supported by updated brand guidelines and enhanced motion capabilities, the system creates a more dynamic and consistent visual language across digital and social platforms, strengthening PlanetF1’s presence as the sport moves “On the Grid”.
