Your build is in Lagos. You’re in London.
How do you keep track of what’s happening on site?
Meet GROUNDWORK a self-initiated client-portal concept I designed for homeowners following a construction project from abroad.
The interface brings together:
→ A clear project overview.
→ Construction milestones and dated site updates.
→ Material choices awaiting the client’s input.
→ A mobile view for checking progress anywhere.
I explored warm neutrals, forest green and architectural typography, with the goal of making three things clear: what’s happened, what’s next and what needs your decision.

Branding work for WithNation
Love the motion, visual style and aesthetics on this one
The concept is to mix the power of creative prompting and allowing everyone to orchestrate their business from start to finish.
Build • Run • Market
The logo represents a shopping bag with the prompting input inside
I designed and built this hero as a concept for Nation, an AI store builder for first-time sellers. You write one sentence, and Nation builds the store, runs the ads and ships the orders while you approve each step
The brief asked for “a nation, not a SaaS.” A nation is somewhere you travel to, so the hero is a boarding pass for one trip: JOB → OWN, from your 9-to-5 to your own store. The ticket’s only highlight is “First sale,” which promises money without promising a number
Before the ticket I tried a flag, a passport, a main street of shops and a shipping box. The box didn’t make it, but its airmail stripes ended up on the stub
On the live page the two torn halves of the ticket snap together, the page builds around it, and hovering flips it to the back. Below that, one real seller’s story explains the product with the interface set into the sentence
Live site: nation-site-xi.vercel.app

The boarding pass idea for "JOB to OWN" is clever. Love that the ticket tears apart as the page builds.
Northbound🚀: Studio Autopilot
An AI-powered client pipeline for creative studios, wrapped in a hand-built 3D world. A brief comes in, gets scored and routed, becomes a priced proposal, is accepted online and turns into a running project, with no one chasing emails.
Every studio knows the feeling: a new brief lands and the clock starts. Then come hours of reading, qualifying, writing proposals, chasing replies and setting up the project. Northbound turns that whole journey into one automated flow, so a small studio can respond like a big one.
The problem: Creative studios lose their best hours to admin. Strong leads wait days for a proposal, weak ones eat the same time as good ones, and follow-ups slip through the cracks. The work that wins clients is the work nobody has time for.
The solution:
- AI brief scoring and routing. Every brief is read for budget, timeline, goals and fit, then routed one of three ways: fast track, a quick human review, or an honest, helpful decline with pointers.
- Tailored proposals in about a minute. Strong fits get a scoped proposal with workstreams, a realistic timeline and three priced packages.
- Online acceptance and kickoff booking. Clients pick a package, accept online and book their kickoff call on the spot.
- A project that runs itself. Milestones are planned on acceptance, and follow-ups and reminders go out automatically.
- A morning digest. Every day at 08:00 the studio owner gets a summary of new briefs, proposals awaiting review, clients who haven’t replied, and what’s due.
- An owner dashboard showing pipeline, win rate and hours saved, plus a review queue to approve held proposals in one click.
- A live demo console where anyone can send a sample brief through the real pipeline and watch each step happen.
The morning digest is my favorite part here. When inquiries, proposals and deadlines are all in one place, you don't have to start the day searching through conversations. I'd just put the items that need an owner's decision today at the top.
