What happens when print grain learns to move?
For this one, I took concert footage and turned it into a halftone motion piece - pulling frames from an artist mid-performance into a scrapbook-style compilation, with that classic dot-pattern texture layered across each one. There's something about halftone that feels so analog, so tactile, and I wanted to see if that texture could hold up in motion.
Process: 👉🏻 Sourced frames from my concert footage 👉🏻 Applied a halftone treatment to each one 👉🏻Aimed for a stop-motion style, frame by frame, letting the texture build alongside the movement
Halftone feels like a small rebellion - grainy, imperfect, hand-made (or at least made to look that way).

One of my biggest daily struggles is figuring out what to cook with the ingredients I already have.
I also tend to lose track of what's in my kitchen until it's too late.
So I used Flowstep to bring my idea to life and created Recipe Picks.
It's a prototype for a recipe recommendation app that suggests recipes based on the ingredients you have and your dietary preferences.
It helps you discover new meal ideas while reducing food waste.
Sharing my process in the comments.

Meridial — Wealth Management Platform
For Meridial, I designed a system where the one thing that matters — portfolio drift — always surfaces first, no matter how many clients an advisor is tracking.
Signal over noise, even at 200+ portfolios. ⚪
The challenge:
Advisors managing dozens of portfolios need to instantly spot what's drifted from target — without digging through spreadsheets or noisy dashboards that bury the signal in data.
A dark, grain-textured UI gives Meridial a private-banking feel instead of typical fintech blue. The landing page proves the product directly in the hero with live allocation and drift cards, while the dashboard extends the same card system into radar charts, composition breakdowns, and a weekly digest — built so advisors can scan hundreds of portfolios at a glance.
A case in making complex portfolio data resolve into one clear signal.
The dark grain-textured UI gives this a truly exclusive private-banking feel. Did you animate the allocation drift cards and radar charts using Jitter or native Figma prototypes?
Built this landing page using Figma + Claude Fable 5.
