A merchant doesn't judge your typography. They judge whether the money showed up.
Turbine is a crypto subscriptions platform on Solana. Merchant sets up a plan, shares one link, gets paid. I did the brand, the merchant dashboard, the checkout and the landing page.
Then I went through the whole product before launch and used it the way a merchant would.
Design normally stops at handoff. On a payments product that's the worst possible place to stop, because everything that decides whether someone trusts you happens after the handoff. The wallet that won't connect. The plan that saves wrong. The confirmation that never arrives.

Designed a dashboard concept for tracking net worth across every asset type — stocks, crypto, property, pensions, funds, cash, and liabilities — all in one place.
Instead of the usual pie chart or bar graph, the centerpiece is a dial: a single, glanceable gauge showing where your wealth actually sits. Behind it, a quiet grid of every asset category fades in and out of visibility, reinforcing that everything's accounted for even when it's not the focus.
Dark UI, a single confident green accent, and a lot of negative space — built to make a genuinely overwhelming task (seeing your entire financial picture at once) feel calm instead of cluttered.
Working on the homepage for Still Blooming, a wedding and floral studio, I explored two different layout directions for the hero section. Same brand, same copy, just a different structure and visual rhythm.
Option 1 : Left Aligned. Text sits on the left with supporting content beside it, giving an editorial, asymmetrical feel.
Option 2 : Centered. Everything is stacked and centered, giving a clean, balanced, more classic hero layout.
Would love your honest UX/UI take which direction feels more elegant, functional, and true to a wedding/floral brand, and why?
