For years I've done the same pointless thing: I pause a film because someone's wearing the exact coat I've been looking for, then I screenshot it, reverse-search it, scroll past forty results that aren't it, and give up.
The thing I wanted was right there in the frame. It just wasn't connected to anything.
So I built it.
Vantara is a streaming service where you pause any moment and it tells you what's in the shot and where to buy it: the exact piece, or its closest match. Because you're never going to find the real 1912 opera coat from the costume department, and you don't want to pay for it either. You want the look, at a price that makes sense.
It's 11 screens across desktop and mobile, including the player, the pause-to-shop panel, item pages with real prices and delivery, a Vault that watches prices and tells you when something drops, and a search that runs backwards. Describe a look, and it finds you the scene it lives in.
I built every screen in Flowstep, driven through the Flowstep MCP server with Claude, on one design system applied across the whole thing.
This is the idea I keep coming back to. Full walkthrough video + case study here: Full Walkthrough

Amazing (^^)
Thank you so much, Tuba! 😊 I'm really glad you liked it. Your support and encouragement mean a lot.
Honestly, the idea was really good. I honestly haven't thought of or come across anything like this before. Great job, Salman! Keep it up. 👏
Thanks, Hassan! ❤️ Really glad you liked the concept. I wanted to build something I'd personally use every day, so it's awesome to know it feels fresh. Appreciate the encouragement!

This project was built entirely in Squarespace with the goal of creating a premium website that feels clean, immersive, and memorable from the very first scroll.
I focused on strong typography, carefully curated imagery, thoughtful spacing, and subtle interactions to create an experience that feels polished while remaining intuitive to navigate.
Finish Layer helped bring the design to life through Block Animations for smooth reveals, Block Transforms to add depth and balance to the layouts, Stacks for responsive structure across screen sizes, and custom font uploads to give the brand a more distinctive identity.
Every design choice was made to enhance the experience rather than distract from it.
I've included screenshots of the homepage and key design decisions, along with a walkthrough showing the finished website, my design process, and the Squarespace editor where the site was built.

Great design ❤️
Revisiting one of our earlier UI concepts.
FluxBit was our take on how a crypto trading platform could feel if simplicity came before complexity.
Instead of overwhelming users with endless charts and distractions, we explored a cleaner experience with a focused dark interface, subtle neon accents, and layouts that make market data easier to understand at a glance.
Every screen was designed to reduce visual noise while keeping the tools traders actually need within easy reach, creating an experience that feels modern, confident, and intuitive.
It's always fun looking back at concepts like this and seeing how timeless a clarity-first approach to product design can be.
love the UI
a piece of advice from a designer who started at 12 and is still figuring it out at 21:
the work matters. but so does the rest.
take breaks.
go outside.
close the laptop.
stop waiting until the project is done to feel okay. it's never fully done.
charge what you're worth. say no to bad fits.
pick clients you actually want to work with.
learn the idea behind the design.
learn the offer.
learn why it works.
and talk to people. other designers, other freelancers, people doing something completely different.
it helps more than any course.
you don't have to have it all figured out at 21. or 25.
or ever, probably.
just keep showing up and doing good work.
