While working on this project, I designed this Messaging experience with one goal:
Make conversations feel safe, simple, and natural. 👇
1) Keep the chat layout familiar
No fancy patterns.
Just clean bubbles, clear spacing, and timestamps that don’t distract.
2) Presence is subtle (Online status)
“Online” is visible, but not screaming for attention.
It helps users understand response timing without pressure.
3) Media is part of the conversation
Instead of sending photos as tiny thumbnails, the image preview feels intentional rounded, clean, and easy to recognize.
4) Full-screen preview without leaving the chat
Tap image → focus mode preview.
The background blurs, the photo becomes the hero, and users can close instantly.
5) One clear input action
A simple message field + mic icon + send button.

Recently I did a UX Audit for a client that was losing engagement on its website.
Nice work — UX audits that target engagement loss are always interesting. Curious, was the biggest impact driven more by structural changes (IA / flows) or micro-level refinements like copy, hierarchy, and interaction cues?
Nordix Advisory. Digital Consulting Landing Page Design.
A responsive landing page concept created to communicate clarity, structure, and strategic thinking in digital consulting.
Really nice visual hierarchy here. The restraint and spacing communicate clarity and structure perfectly — fits consulting positioning very well.
Really strong direction. Curious — what drove the geometric visual system for the brand?
