I tried something a little more playful in my new visual portfolio web design.
Ciela — a window holding sky, drifting clouds, art, and a little lightness.
In the hero section, a white window frame sits at the center, with clouds drfting quietly inside and drawing the viewer's eye toward it. On hover, selected artworks appear at random, hinting at the artist's visual language before the gallery is revealed.
I used Sapphire Blue to ground the softness and keep the design from feeling too fairy-like, while giving the website a stronger visual language.
The rest of the site is planned around the same motion language — elements drifting gently in and out, like coulds passing by.
Still working on this one. Looking forward to seeing it all come together!

Nice work
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.
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!
