Prototyping with real-world scenarios, even fictional ones, is one of the best ways to sharpen skills, so here's a "client-style" exercise: a website hero animation.
Keeping motion clean in hero sections is trickier than it looks. Every bit of movement needs to earn its place, or it just competes for attention instead of drawing people in.
This is a mockup solar flower hero, built and rendered in Blender using Eevee for fast real-time iteration. The animation itself is intentionally simple and the real focus here was on the rigging setup driving it.
this is so fascinating to watch in motion, excellent concept!
CLASS!!
This so pretty!!!
Amazing work🔥👏👏

Sometimes the idea looks perfect in the frame, then you hit the timeline and everything changes.
Here is the animation next to the storyboard frame.
Did I nail it or did I go a little too far? 👇

Revisiting one of my older self-directed projects from earlier this year and pushing it much further.
KARMAE originally lived in a darker, more atmospheric world through its first scent, Orbit. For this refresh, I kept the core identity and overall direction, but started exploring what the opposite side of that same brand could feel like.
ASTER is that softer expression. More light, more diffusion, more tactile materials. Frosted glass, pale botanicals, muted metallics and a much quieter environment, while still feeling unmistakably part of the same KARMAE world.
Everything has been designed and directed by me from start to finish, including the product design, packaging, environments, materials and final 3D renders in Blender.
First part of ASTER is coming later today 👀
way stronger than the first version
Sunflower is built around the idea that every sober day grows your garden, and a relapse costs you something. We designed the field switch animation to make that psychological loop visible and felt, not just understood.
The movement had to feel natural and meaningful, soft timing, nothing gamified or cheap, because a recovery app that feels like a slot machine loses the user's trust immediately.
The goal is to make progress feel real enough that users think twice before breaking their streak.
Obsessed with the bee! 🐝 Such good design!
