I built a motion gradient tool for an app that generates JSON animation files.

The reason was simple.

While working on a recent project, I needed multiple animated gradients for the UI.

Creating each gradient, animating it manually, and exporting video assets every time felt repetitive and inefficient.

So instead of repeating the same process, I built a small internal tool.

The tool generates motion gradients automatically and exports them as JSON files, making it easy for developers to integrate the animations directly into the app.

Now the workflow looks like this:

• Generate gradient • Apply motion • Export JSON • Ready for development

Sometimes improving the product isn’t about designing another screen - it’s about building tools that remove friction from the design to development workflow.

Recently worked on a project for https://joindawn.com/ on the release of their new product. Hired by my friend https://x.com/hunterthompson to create the initial logo and creative direction. He always brings me great projects that give me room to really push the logo and brand work. With Dawn, I explored a wide range of directions — looking at how we could express sun, serenity, and mental health in a way that felt warm, calm, and approachable. These were some of the early explorations across a few different visual directions.
