How I built it
Honestly, it took many, many iterations. I started with a completely different idea. It was going to be a post-apocalyptic world, and the outfits would represent the new world that came after. But the more I built it on the FLORA canvas, the more it leaned toward a fashion show, so at some point I stopped fighting it back and started creating.
Every object came onto the canvas as its own starting point and branched out from there (silhouette, material, styling). Having all 11 chains on the same board is what kept it feeling like one collection instead of eleven separate experiments.
Then I built each look magazine style, so you can see the object and the outfit side by side, the way you'd meet it in the gallery. And the runway show at the end.
I hope you'll enjoy it, and let me know which one you like the most.
Here's a final walkthrough a separate file
And showcasing the items and the process (sounds on!)
This turned out beautifully.
Thank you so much!
This is the best I've ever seen! It's a creative idea and a work of art. I love it!
Awe thank you 🙏

I wanted to create something that felt like a real fashion brand had already existed for years.
Not just a homepage. Not a collection of pretty screens. An actual store, with its own identity, imagery, products, interactions and all the small details that make a website feel complete.
That idea became NARROWFORM.
I created the brand and name, developed the art direction, produced the fashion and product imagery, designed the entire interface and shopping experience, and built the website myself.
I wanted the concept to hold up beyond the first impression, so I built the experience all the way through:
Product discovery
Product pages
Cart interactions
Checkout
Simulated payment
Cookie consent
Responsive layouts
Mobile interactions
And the smaller interface states throughout the experience
The imagery was created specifically for NARROWFORM using generative tools, then refined and directed to fit the same visual language as the website.
The result is a complete fashion e-commerce concept that you can actually explore.
This is probably the most involved project I've made so far, because I wasn't trying to design a website around an existing brand.
I wanted to create the brand, then build the website that belonged to it.

Project Title:
AÉVRA — AI-Driven Horological Conservation Atelier & Dual Cockpit
The Hook (Opening line that grabs attention):
"Every mechanical watch has thousands of micro-components—and usually, a customer experience stuck in 2004. We rebuilt the horological conservation pipeline from scratch."
Overview & Story:
Most watch restoration platforms alienate customers with esoteric technical jargon and static forms. AÉVRA was created to preserve timepieces for what they mean, not just what they cost—combining editorial Swiss atelier aesthetics, real-time 3D motion, and AI-driven intake.
The Problem:
Customers with heirlooms or vintage pieces don't know reference numbers or movement calibres.
Atelier watchmakers spend hours manually triaging vague emails before diagnosing a single watch.
The Solution & Key Features:
Natural Language Horological Intake: Clients describe their watch issue in plain English (e.g., "losing time and scratched crystal"). The system automatically maps symptoms to mechanical calibres, delivering immediate clarity on services, timeline, and preliminary cost estimates.
Cinematic 3D Photographic Scroller: A high-fidelity scroll journey that physically disassembles and reassembles the movement's case, bezel, balance wheel, and gear train at 60fps.
The Conservator’s Owner Cockpit: A private, real-time management dashboard allowing atelier owners to view incoming requests, evaluate AI diagnostic breakdowns, and accept or decline repair commissions with instant, seamless switching between client and owner views.
Tech Stack & Craft:
Platform: Lovable
Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
Motion & 3D: GSAP ScrollTrigger, Three.js / Canvas, Lenis Smooth Scroll
State Management: Zustand with local persistence

Nice design
My entry for the Designer Briefs: a brand identity and label system for Lätt, a Stockholm label bringing a light, romantic touch to modern tailoring. Silk, sheer knits and suiting made to be worn lightly.
The idea is "Tailoring, softened," and it runs through every touchpoint. A script wordmark is embossed blind into the hang tag and the shopping bag. A woven neck label is sewn loosely into the lining, and a satin care tag carries bilingual Swedish/English care instructions in a typewriter-style mono. Packaging is tissue, lace and frayed silk ribbon: "Wrapped lightly. Opened slowly." The visual world is built from fabric scans and phone snapshots, so it feels tactile and real.
I loved this project so much, what do you think? I would love to hear the feedback of the community!
so cool!!
