CASE STUDY
MAZZE was looking for a visual identity capable of representing seemingly contradictory concepts: delicacy and strength, fragility and resilience, nature and energy. Inspired by phenomena such as Rupert’s Tears, the challenge was to condense these ideas into a single, recognizable symbol for his career as a DJ and music producer.
The solution was to develop a completely custom lettering-based logo, built around an organic and fluid structure. The visual concept drew inspiration from molten metal, creating a three-dimensional aesthetic that conveys transformation, movement, and intensity. The curves lend a sense of naturalness and sensitivity, while the sharp edges introduce tension, character, and visual strength.
Each letter was carefully adjusted to achieve formal coherence and structural balance, allowing the whole to function as a single, distinctive piece. The result is an identity capable of communicating both the energy of electronic music and the conceptual complexity behind the artistic project.
PROJECT SUMMARY
Custom logo design for DJ and producer MAZZE, developed from a lettering system inspired by molten metal, combining organic forms, energy, delicacy, and strength within a unique and memorable visual identity.

Kids don’t defeat fear by reading advice.
They understand it better when they can see it, shape it, shrink it, rename it, and laugh at it.
That’s the idea behind Monster Movie Studio — a cinematic interactive cartoon experience where children turn big fears into funny little animated monsters.
Instead of building another dashboard or basic kids app, I wanted this to feel like a playable cartoon episode.
A child can:
→ create a clay-like 3D monster
→ choose what made the monster feel big
→ drag magical tools onto it
→ direct a tiny cartoon scene
→ shrink the scary shadow
→ turn a roar into music
→ make the monster dance
→ transform it into a tiny helper
→ print a movie poster
→ share a gentle parent note
The whole experience is designed around one principle:
Every action should speak.
Not just buttons.
Not static cards.
Not a form with cute colors.
A tap should change the scene.
A drag should transform the monster.
A completed action should feel cinematic.
A child should feel like they are directing a tiny animated movie.
Built with Figma Make for the Config Makeathon.
Monster Movie Studio — turn big fears into funny little cartoons.
Love how visual this feels. Not a normal app, more like an interactive animated experience.
Hey there! I like to share something I made 😊
Dojo, a daily kendo practice, disguised as a card collection 🤺⚔️⛩️
Kendo is something that been sticking with me last 3 years... mostly get hit with a stick, repeatedly. But the part that sticks isn't the strikes, it's keiko: the same move, the same bow, over and over until they're yours. You don't win in kendo. You just keep showing up.
So I made an app that does the same thing. Dojo gives you one pack of three cards a day. No more, no matter how nicely you ask. Collect cards and you've quietly walk the path of a kendo practitioner!
It not a slot machine. No progress bars, no streak guilt, no confetti cannon at the finish. The grid just fills, one quiet day at a time.
I hope Dojo bows politely and asks you to come back tomorrow. And every card teaches you a little bit of kendo in English and Japanese, so you're learning while you collect.
📌 What to look for
- One pack a day, waiting is a feature, not a bug.
- Shin-Gi-Tai: 36 cards
- Zero dopamine gimmicks
- Bilingual cards a tiny kendo crash course.
📌 How it was made
Pen and paper -> ideas, scribbles
Claude -> to think out loud, plan and organized
Figma -> to design the look, layout and details
Agents / Weave -> to generate the card by theme
Figma Make -> pack it all up in as an interactive experience
Let me know what you think and hope you give Kendo a try! 🙏
