What if an object could guide your mind back to focus in under 5 seconds?
That was the core challenge behind this Multi-Sensory Grounding Tool.
Most fidget or stress-relief products are noisy or distracting. We wanted something subtle, elegant, and deeply tactile.
How your hand interacts with it:
Touch: The contrast between the silky-smooth thumb well and the micro-textured top deck keeps your senses engaged.
Hold: The sculpted oval profile fits the natural resting curve of a closed palm.
Grip: High-density perimeter ribbing ensures it won't slip, even under pressure.
Designed, textured, and prepped for production, making calm tangible through thoughtful industrial design. 🛠️ Prime candidate for elastomeric overmolding!

AcreamStudio App Launch Video🎉
The Challenge
Work can quickly become fragmented and overwhelming. Constant tasks, notifications, and context switching often leave users feeling mentally overloaded and out of control.
The video needed to communicate that tension in a short amount of time, while clearly demonstrating how the app supports task organization, work planning, and mental wellbeing.
Creative Direction
The film uses a 3D keyboard as a visual metaphor for work-related pressure.
At the beginning, keycaps bounce, pile up, and move in irregular rhythms to create a sense of chaos, tension, and information overload. The visual then shifts into app UI animations and feature demonstrations, using a calmer and more structured motion language to create a strong contrast.
This transition from disorder to clarity helps the audience feel the app’s value rather than simply being told about it.
Solution
Used bouncing, shifting, and densely paced keycap movements to visualize workplace pressure and information overload
Integrated app UI into 3D scenes and transitions, making feature demonstrations part of the story
Built an emotional progression from chaos to clarity through pacing, composition, and motion curves
Created sound design to strengthen the tactile quality of the keyboard, rhythmic tension, and UI feedback

Nice
Been working on this one for a while, and I’m finally happy with how it turned out. 🥛✨
This was a fun product design project for a fictional flavored milk brand — NEXA.
The goal was simple: make each flavor feel bold and delicious while keeping the entire range visually connected.
The challenging part was getting the little things right — the liquid splashes, fruit placement, lighting, shadows, colors, and overall composition. It’s easy to add elements to a design. It’s much harder to make everything feel like it belongs together.
One thing I took away from this project: good product visuals aren’t just about making something look good. They’re about making people want to reach for the product.
I also experimented with a mix of 3D, Photoshop, Illustrator, and AI-assisted creative exploration to bring the concepts together.
Pretty happy with where this landed. 👀
Which flavor would you pick? 🍓🥭🍋🫐🍫

Beautiful concept and execution! The design has a strong sense of character while remaining clean and professional. Every detail seems to support the bigger visual story.
