Recently worked on the launch motion for BOZ Jewelry.
The goal was translating a brand built on heritage craftsmanship into motion without losing its sense of precision and restraint. Every movement was designed to balance raw artistry with technical refinement, extending the identity into a digital experience that feels considered and timeless.
Scope: Motion design
🌊 THE DOME OF THE DEEP 🌊
concept:
Beneath the waves lies Aquora, a hidden underwater metropolis protected by a colossal energy dome that separates its people from the dangerous outer sea. Powered by the radiant CapCore, the city flourishes with advanced technology, vibrant marine life, and peaceful mermaid communities living in harmony beneath glowing towers and bioluminescent skies.
Yet beyond the safety of the Dome lurks Rubbache, a growing menace born from centuries of discarded plastics, toxic chemicals, and ocean pollution, which has evolved into a living force capable of corrupting everything it touches. To defend their world, Aquora's elite mermaid guardians patrol the waters beyond the Dome armed with powerful CapCut weapons, advanced purification tools designed to capture, cleanse, and contain Rubbache before it can spread.
While the citizens enjoy peace and prosperity within the city's shimmering boundaries, the guardians tirelessly fight in the darkness beyond, standing as the final line of defense between a thriving civilization and an ocean consumed by pollution. Their mission is not only to protect Aquora, but to restore balance to the sea itself—because every light that shines within the Dome exists only because someone is brave enough to guard the waters beyond it. 🌊✨🧜♀️⚔️
The Long Way Home — A Documentary Filmmaker's Client Portal

Short description:
A motion-rich client portal for a personal documentary project — a film built from footage shot on the Camino Francés in July 2016, being edited ten years later. The portal gives a broadcast client a cinematic, real-time view of the production from assembly edit through to festival submission. Built entirely in Google Stitch using a dark glassmorphic design system — deep charcoal surfaces, warm amber accents, Playfair Display headers, and animated production milestones.
How I used Stitch:
I used Google Stitch as the sole design and build tool. I began with a single detailed prompt establishing the full design system and layout — hero section, chapter tracker, production timeline, recent deliverables, and filmmaker's note all generated in one streaming canvas output. I then used in-place AI edits across four subsequent prompts to refine content, reskin the project narrative, fix layout details, and add motion. The final build includes hero entrance animations, animated progress indicators on chapter cards, and a pulsing active milestone on the production timeline.
Stitch features used:
Streaming generation to canvas · In-place AI edits · Native motion and animation on HTML canvas · Iterative content reskinning across five prompt rounds
Feedback on Stitch:
The in-place editing workflow felt immediately natural as a filmmaker — selecting a component, describing what I want, and seeing it update without breaking the surrounding design mirrors the non-linear way I think about editing. The HTML canvas motion support meant the prototype felt alive from the first generation, not just a static mockup. The design system interpreted a detailed brief — specific typefaces, colour tokens, glassmorphic depth — with impressive fidelity. The main friction point is generation limits for iterative creative workflows; a higher-volume tier would suit this kind of work well.
