The Internet Vending Machine started as a simple question: what would a vending machine look and feel like if it lived on the web? I designed it as a rotating discovery experience for useful products, apps, tools, and other things worth finding.
I took the idea from concept through product strategy, interaction design, responsive UI, and a working build, including vending interactions, product inspection, rotating inventory, sharing, analytics, and an archive of previous machine editions.
The project continues to evolve through real usage, product curation, and experimentation with new interactions and ways for people to discover what belongs in the machine.

What if e-commerce websites were actually fun to explore?
This was a concept exploration ✨
It was all about turning a very ordinary e-commerce journey into something more visual, playful, and a little unexpected.
Now I’m curious about one thing:
Would this actually make you want to buy? Or would you bounce because it feels like too much for something as simple as frozen food?
Frozen food is actually the category where it can work, because the shelf equivalent is forty near-identical bags under the same blue light and nothing helps you choose. The bounce risk isn't the playfulness, it's whether motion ever sits between me and a price, a weight or a cook time. Keep those static and I'd stay.
Good fintech design makes moving money feel simple.
That was the idea I had in mind when I started designing Verra.
I didn’t want it to feel like another fintech app packed with features, numbers, and endless options.
I wanted the experience to feel clear.
You should be able to open the app and immediately understand:
→ how much money you have
→ where it is
→ how to move it
→ who you’re sending it to
→ what happened to your money
No unnecessary complexity. No making users think harder than they need to.
Giving the hero section actual product focus and tighter hierarchy changes everything! Keeping the original brand soul while elevating the motion energy makes the redesign feel miles ahead
