Another concept from our archives that we're still proud of.
SYNTHH was our take on what an AI workspace assistant could feel like if it was designed around focus instead of constant notifications.
Instead of another chat interface, we explored a calmer experience with cinematic visuals, subtle motion, and an interface that fades into the background while helping you stay in flow.
We wanted every interaction to feel intentional, from the ambient UI to the conversational experience and the overall visual language.
It's always fun looking back at concepts like this and seeing ideas that are becoming more relevant today than when we first designed them.
Amazing work!
Guitar knobs turning, jittered depth of field, rendered in Eevee with raytracing on. Trying to see how close I can get to that Cycles-style DOF without the Cycles wait times.
This test landed way closer than expected; good sign for faster turnarounds on close-up shots like this.
Getting Cycles-style depth of field out of Eevee with raytracing is exactly the kind of workflow hack more people should be talking about. What's your typical render time on a shot like this compared to what Cycles would've taken?
Fayes Faerie Stories has been a true labour of love for myself and the client. As both illustrator of the children's book and designer of the website, it has been a pleasure to implement the beautiful and whimsical graphics into the website to continue the magical story online. It was also such a treat to use Squarespace's flexible system to craft a website that works with the magical and colourful illustrations and the characters within the books.

• Finish Layer was used to animate the little fairies, having them appear and / or float in the viewing space, bringing a sense of whimsy and also drawing the eye to important areas of the website. It was also used sparingly on other areas to drop the book into the viewing space and feature key notifications about the launch of the book.
this is beautiful!
