I made a video announcement for my course UX/UI Ai Fitst Designer. A video in Russian about how this penguin decided to quit his usual 9-to-5, 5-day-a-week job for a fixed salary, and over time, he learned to work remotely and create projects on Figma and Framer.

I’d go with the dark/light toggle. It’s simple but adds real value to user experience, especially for accessibility. Flashlight hover looks cool, but usability always wins for me.
Ok. I have to finally admin this...
Design is dead.💀
I've spent the last few weeks staring at my screen, watching AI spit out interfaces in seconds, and I just... can't argue with it anymore. We're cooked.
So I made a decision.
After nearly 20 years in UX, I'm shutting down my design studio and walking away from the screen - for good.
I'm going back to my roots. Literally. 🌱
I actually studied landscape architecture back in high school. Hated every second of it at the time, if I'm being honest. But funny how life works - I'm building my own house now, I've got a garden to design, and somewhere along the way I fell completely in love with it.
Soil, stone, plants. Real work, with your hands. Something that actually grows. 🌿
Something AI can't take over.
No more pixels. No more Figma. No more "can we try it in blue?" 🖥️
Just me, a pair of gloves, and a vision for outdoor spaces that actually breathe.
As a total newbie in this field, I'm looking to take on a few projects for free to build my portfolio. If you're based in or around Veliko Tarnovo and your garden or yard needs some love - DMs are open. 📩
Terrifying to start over. But honestly? It feels right.
Thanks for the support! 🫶
P.S. Already planted my first tree a few weeks ago. 🌳
Bro caught me off-guard... For me, this was not just April Fool it was straight April-Doom... 😂
This is my submission for the Rive HMI Challenge.
The concept is set in a post-apocalyptic world where manufacturing infrastructure is gone so vehicles aren't manufactured, they're built from whatever's available. The platform is modular: body, trailer, cargo bed all swappable depending on the job. This configuration is a scout and light delivery vehicle operating at -32° in terrain with unmapped threats. Get to the destination. Don't die.
The UI follows the same logic as the vehicle. It's a grid system where each screen tile can be swapped based on what the situation demands. Instrument cluster, climate controls, navigation, vehicle diagnostics, everything reconfigurable.
This was my first time building a full HMI system in Rive, state machines, nested artboards, data binding, the whole thing. Honestly it was a lot of fun. There's a point where it just makes sense after all the struggle to figure out state machine based systems.
UI designed in Rive. Car model put together in Blender. Comp and Edited in After Effects.
Very creative concept!
