Excited to be participating in the ZO Computer Challenge!
CTRL//SPIRIT — a haunted operating system for diagnosing corrupted design systems.
I didn’t want to make a traditional portfolio, so I turned my personal website into an interactive horror desktop instead. The idea was to create something that felt like a cursed CRT machine, a living archive, and a design manifesto all at once.
Inside the site, visitors can explore:
recovered doctrines from broken systems
incident logs of interface failures
an infected components diagnostic mini-game
terminal interactions, hidden files, and eerie system warnings
I wanted it to feel unsettling, playful, and strangely beautiful — like stepping into a machine that still remembers every broken interface it has ever scanned.
Built on Zo Computer during the challenge window.

I didn’t build a typical portfolio.
Instead of showing my work upfront, this site observes how you think.
Every choice you make shapes the experience and leads to different outcome.
The interface is intentionally minimal, black and white, editorial — focused on clarity and interaction.
Projects are presented as compact case studies, highlighting context, approach, and outcome.
There’s also a layer of interactivity: subtle reactions, a scoring system, and hidden elements for those who explore deeper.
At the end, you can either book a call or request a paid audit based on your input.
This is not about browsing.
It’s about understanding how you think.

Most people don’t redesign their rooms because they lack clarity.
Not ideas.
You upload one room…
and suddenly you’re stuck between 10 Pinterest styles with no direction.
So I built HOUSE CRAFT.
Upload one room image → get 5 real designer-level concepts instantly:
• Minimal
• Luxury
• Warm & cozy
• Bold & artistic
• Smart & functional
And here’s the twist 👇
It also tells you how much each design would cost.
So you don’t just see options —
you decide smartly.
No guessing.
No overthinking.
No starting from scratch.
Built using FLORA
One room. Five visions. Real decisions.
great concept!
