I designed NEXUS, a futuristic gaming website concept in Figma, built around a bold esports-inspired visual identity. The goal was to create an immersive digital experience that feels powerful, competitive, and unmistakably gaming-focused.
The Challenge
The main challenge was balancing high-energy visuals with a clean and usable interface. Gaming websites can easily become visually overwhelming, so I focused on creating strong hierarchy while allowing the imagery, neon effects, and typography to create the atmosphere.
How I Structured It
The website was structured around:
A bold futuristic navigation bar for simple exploration.
A high-impact hero section with gaming imagery and strong messaging.
Clear primary and secondary CTAs such as Gear Up and Explore Games.
Gaming-focused stats and trust indicators to build credibility.
Strong visual sections for games, gear, and community.
Consistent spacing, typography, cards, and UI elements throughout the experience.
Visual Direction
I used a black, charcoal, and neon-red color system to create the futuristic esports atmosphere. Glowing edges, atmospheric smoke, metallic elements, dramatic shadows, and angular shapes were used to give the interface depth and energy.
Final Feel
The final result feels bold, immersive, futuristic, and competitive. NEXUS was designed to feel less like a conventional gaming store and more like an elite gaming ecosystem something that immediately grabs attention while still maintaining a clear and structured user experience.

Web3 platform: Web design, Branding, Illustrations
A messenger, a browser, and a wallet, built around one idea: that people should own their conversations and their data. The visuals reflect that split, where clean digital color for the system, and hand-drawn touches for the human note passed between two people, still the most private way to say something that matters.
Extra Olives needed a pixel-accurate, fully responsive Framer site built from their existing Figma designs.
The goal: translate their brand identity into a fast, polished, and visually consistent website, without compromising a single detail from the design vision.
Figma + Framer
How close did the final build end up matching the Figma file pixel for pixel? With that footer row of client logos I'd guess something always needs to flex a little between design and a live responsive build, curious if that held true here.
Team collaboration: Mobile app interface, Illustrations
A mobile app design exploration for team communication, built around one problem: threads bury important info, and people end up pinging each other just hoping for a reply, with no clarity on what actually needs attention. I solved it by sorting threads by priority and progress, so the screen only shows what matters right now. I also made the illustrations friendly on purpose, since async communication already feels distant enough without a cold interface making it worse.
Love the illustrations!
