I know what 2 AM rejection emails feel like.
I know the silence after a final interview. The inbox you refresh 40 times a day. The job listing that asks for everything you are, and still says you're not enough.
I'm a developer with 9+ years of experience. And right now, I'm in the middle of it. The job search. The doubt. The exhaustion.
So when I saw the Envato #HumanByDesign challenge, I didn't want to make a brand for a fictional company. I wanted to make something real. Something for everyone who's lost themselves in the job search. Who's thinking about giving up or already has.
Envato was my primary creative toolkit — AI ImageGen, AI VideoGen, AI SoundGen, stock videos, stock sound effects, and music.
But my most important decision wasn't about tools. I recorded my own voice and deleted it. Because silence says everything that words can't.
This video isn't polished. It isn't perfect. It's honest. Just like the people behind the tags.
Stop looking for a machine in a person. Start looking for humanity in the process.
Delete the tags. See the human.

Designed 3 posters for a local bar's Sunday jam nights, with Envato as my toolkit. 🎸🎤
Envato gave me hero images, background texture, and animated video. But none of it works on its own. Someone still has to make the calls.
Human by Design: AI got me fast raw material. Making it feel like this bar took real decisions - recoloring and chroma-keying a stock video before animating, chasing a grimy texture over a clean AI render, picking one generated scene out of several for its energy - then building the composition and type myself.
Toolkit: @Envato Elements, Envato AI, After Effects, Illustrator.
this is awesome dina!! love the designs
VANITAS 🖤
For the #SquarespaceChallenge I built Vanitas — a jewelry brand for men who love excess and refuse to blend in.
Built with Squarespace's Finish Layer: pulsing animations, custom transforms, and a hand-picked custom font.

I never get tired of your work. ✨
Another chance to showcase the masterpiece I created for the @Envato Human by Design Challenge.
Every core asset in this project was created using Envato AI and Envato's creative library:
GraphicGen - Generated the luxury brand logo
ImageGen - Created the fashion apparel featured in the website hero section
MockupGen - Produced the Highway Horizontal Billboard and Underground Wide Digital Screen mockups
VideoGen - Animated the billboard visuals
I also used Envato Stocks for images, fonts, and sound effects.
With these AI-generated assets as my creative foundation, I refined and brought everything together using Figma and Figma Motion to craft a polished luxury brand experience.
This perfectly reflects the spirit of the challenge: AI generates possibilities. Human creativity gives them meaning. #HumanByDesign
Human by Design.
Here's my design process video and the final design reveal.
For this challenge, I wanted to show that AI doesn't replace creativity,it expands...
Great Design
