I designed a collection of illustrated book covers inspired by folklore and fantasy storytelling, with a focus on creating visually distinctive covers that capture the mood, character, and magical atmosphere of each story. The project was centered on combining expressive illustration, decorative typography, and cohesive color palettes to give each book its own identity while still feeling like part of a strong visual collection.
The design approach focused on storytelling through cover art, using character-driven imagery, fantasy-inspired details, and carefully chosen compositions to create covers that feel imaginative, engaging, and suitable for readers in the children’s or fantasy book market.

Hi Everyone!
Zlotan Speaks is a character based interactive experience built in Rive, where the self proclaimed greatest footballer of all time becomes your personal World Cup oracle.
Players step up to choose a category, and ask a question, and Zlotan gazes into his crystal ball to deliver the answer with facts, flair, and far too much confidence. Every response blends real World Cup history with his signature ego, turning trivia into a mystical audience with a living legend.
The piece is driven by a Rive state machine, each tap moves you through category, question, and answer with the character reacting at every step.
We created the character experience with original illustration, bold typography, and a loud color palette, along with audio and interactive touches.

Thank you!
really inspiring work
Most coffee brands shout. More flavours. More syrups. More noise.
MONO does the opposite.
The name says everything: one origin, one bean, one intention.
No distractions, no seasonal gimmicks, nothing to hide behind.
Just coffee, poured with purpose.
The visual identity had to feel the same way it tastes: deep forest green, clean white, generous negative space.
Every frame gives the cup room to breathe. And in the final shot, the shadow says what words can't, it's in the beans.
This is MONO. Single origin. Nothing else.

We created a fast-paced, 2026 World Cup-inspired free-kick game entirely in Rive. Choose your football superstar, time the shot, and discover whether you score, miss, or send the ball over the bar.
Our characters are stylized interpretations of iconic football stars, each with their own distinctive look. We built them as reusable Rive components, allowing their colors, animations, and appearances to update throughout the game.
You can play the game here: https://freekick-rive-demo.vercel.app/
