Over the last few years I’ve had the opportunity to work on branding, product animation, UI motion design and visual storytelling projects for modern brands.
Here’s a selection of some of that work.
Feedback is always welcome. 😉
Remarkable work with perfect intent.

Nobody tells you that the hardest part of freelancing is the waiting.
Waiting for the right brief.
The right client.
The right moment to feel ready.
For a long time I treated momentum like something that arrives if you're patient enough.
This summer I'm done waiting for the current. I'd rather be it:)
So I made this.
A swimmer caught mid-stroke, blurred because she's moving, while the only thing holding still long enough to read is the word.
I built it backwards on purpose: the image is frozen but full of motion, and the text is the part that actually moves. A still that's all velocity, a motion that's all calm. That contrast is the whole feeling.
The process:
- Ideogram to generate the swimmer, motion blur and all
- Canva for grain and a bit of the moody texture
- Framer for the moving text, because if momentum is the theme, I wanted the motion to be real, not faked. Also because I'm spending this summer chasing more Framer work for Formeta, so I figured I'd practice what I preach
- Screen recorded the final piece to capture the motion
Movement as meditation. The work moves when I do.
What's the energy you're swimming into this summer?
The motion blur still juxtaposed with the text looks super sick!
What if you could see the world through the eyes of a local? 🧐
A quick search doesn't always cut it. We get funneled toward the same generic spots, and half the time we don't even know why something's being recommended to us.
Incola fixes that. Just ask someone who actually knows the place you're heading to. 🧳
Where should I go if I love history and I've got 2 days in New York? Where do I find open-air house music events in Tokyo? Ask a local. And while you're at it, help other travelers by answering the open questions about your own city.
Try it now! The more people jump in, the faster we leave the cold start problem behind. 😄
Can't believe I'm saying this, but all of this was built in Figma Make.
