I kept scrolling my own portfolio one night, waiting to feel proud.
The work was good. But it felt quiet.
None of it showed how I actually think when I design.
I kept telling myself the right client would come and finally let me prove it.
One weekend, I got tired of waiting for permission.
So I built the proof myself.
Aperture & Co, a conceptual camera gear store, designed and built from scratch.
Not to sell cameras. To answer one question: how does a store earn your trust before you ever click buy.
I broke down every section and the decision behind it. The hero, the trust section, the mobile layout, all of it.
No client paid for this one.
And somehow it might be the most honest work I have shipped all year.
Full flow-by-flow case study is on my profile here:
Would love to hear your feedback about my design thinking process.

It's hard to capture 3+ years of work into a single use case page.
Though I gave it a try (it's never perfect 😉)
Read the use case here and let me know what you think of the work. Thanks!🤙🏻
Three years into one page is the hard version of a case study. The usual trap is listing every deliverable in order, so I am curious how you picked what to leave out. Reading it now.

Brand identity for Peak, an all-in-one website builder for WordPress that I design and build. A four-letter mark, a warm paper-and-ember palette and one system that runs from the favicon to the packaging.
A four-letter mark that has to hold from favicon to packaging is a tough constraint. Did you draw one letterform first and build the other three from it, or design them together as a set from the start?
