StudyMate is an AI-powered study assistant designed to help students manage their academic lives from a single place. Its core purpose is straightforward: to give students a data-driven, personalized answer to the question they face every morning — "What should I study today?"
The app solves three distinct problems at once. The first is tracking — students can see in real time which subjects they've studied, how many minutes they've spent, which exams are coming up, and which tasks are waiting. The second is planning — the AI analyzes the student's past study sessions alongside upcoming exam dates to generate daily and weekly study schedules. The third is content — through PDF uploading, automatic summarization, and quiz generation, students can interact with their course materials directly within the app.
From a user experience standpoint, StudyMate brings together a Pomodoro timer, exam countdown tracking, task management, and progress charts — all layered with AI coaching. In other words, it's not a passive tracking tool. It's a system that actively guides you.

Meriot Netherlands-based product designer portfolio
I explored a portfolio website for Meriot, a product designer based in the Netherlands who wanted a digital presence that felt more personal, editorial, and design-focused.
The challenge was to avoid the typical portfolio formula and create something that communicates personality within the first few seconds.
The direction
→ Bold editorial typography
→ Strong personal photography
→ Minimal black-and-white foundation
→ Warm orange accent for CTAs
→ Simple, structured navigation
→ Clear positioning as a product designer
→ A portfolio experience that feels like a personal brand
The idea was to make the website feel confident without being complicated.
Rather than leading with a long introduction, the hero immediately communicates who Meriot is, what he does, and where the visitor should go next.
Nice design broooo
Manifestation apps have an audience problem most teams don't talk about: the same interface has to work for a teenager building a vision board and a retiree tracking daily affirmations. Design for one and you alienate the other.
For Manifestie, that meant treating the visual language as functional, not decorative. The color palette and animation aren't there to look calm they're there to lower the barrier to a daily habit that most people abandon within a week. Progress tracking and feature navigation had to stay simple enough that neither age group hits friction, while the aesthetic still signals "this is a space for reflection," not a productivity tool wearing soft colors.
The harder design question wasn't the interface it was building something that feels personal to two very different life stages without splitting into two products.
Anyone else designed for an audience that spans generations in one build? Curious how you handled the tone split. Check it out.
this is sooooo dreamy, i love the collectible aspect you've incorporated!
