Taste Test
Started this messages flow in light mode. then I did a dark version just to check. Now I can’t pick, so i’ve handed the decision to strangers on the internet

Dark mode for this one.
dark. messages always feel calmer in dark mode
Light mode gets my vote here. The message bubbles and the blue accent have room to breathe against the white, and the timestamps stay readable at a glance. The dark version looks slick, but for a screen people stare at all day, the light one will feel easier on the eyes over a long chat.

What if sending money felt a little more like giving a gift?
For Nova, I explored a banking app that brings payments, cards, and a bit of personality together. You can check your balance, browse recent transactions, send or request money, top up, and pay bills.
My favorite part is the digital postcard feature. Before sending a transfer, you can add a little illustrated card—a heart, a birthday greeting, or a playful character. A simple way to make birthday money or a thank-you feel more personal.
I carried that same 3D character into onboarding, pairing it with bold red gradients and large, clear payment details. There’s room for play, while the recipient and amount stay easy to check.
Would you add a postcard to a transfer? I’d love to know what occasion you’d use it for.
I created 2 concepts for the same tagline "Shaping Skylines", for a vertical construction company. Both of these are scroll triggered, which one you prefer? I'm biased towards the skewed option.
I'm giving a free component copy for both of them:

Check them out and if you'd like, use them in your upcoming project!

A fashion storefront needs to show the outfit and make its individual pieces easy to find.
For FORM, I paired a warm, editorial lookbook with clearly grouped product names, prices, and size choices.
Cream surfaces, charcoal typography, and consistent product cards connect the homepage with the desktop and mobile screen concepts.
One useful design principle from this project: give campaign imagery and shopping details their own readable zones. The collection can have a strong visual presence while the next product decision stays clear.

When exploring a clothing collection, what helps you most: a styled outfit or an individual product grid?
