first i explored a heavier, game like interface, more like an RPG anime style. It looked interesting in isolation, but for a web video player it pulled attention away from the picture and made simple actions feel harder than they should. So I simplified. PRISM X is a custom Video.js v10 skin built around a light diamond / crystal control interface: physical enough to feel intentional, quiet enough to stay out of the way. The goal is cinematic playback that still feels native on real sites. clear controls, easy navigation, and a look that blends into the screen instead of competing with the video.

Ashlode is an architectural Video.js v10 skin and studio showcase designed as a tactile Japanese ceramic monograph. Instead of building a generic tech player, I reimagined the UI as a contextual storytelling tool for a wood-fired pottery studio.

The core innovation is the interactive timeline, reimagined as a "pyrometer ruler" that dynamically syncs the 1,300°C firing log telemetry with exact Mux video timestamps. Designed with a rigorous 4-column layout and fully accessible keyboard navigation, the interface uses a bespoke Smoked Kiln Oak and Fired Terracotta palette to merge high-performance product design with Japanese-inspired art direction.

A pyrometer ruler synced to a 1,300°C firing log as the timeline, what a specific idea. Beautiful.
