Hey. Spent the last stretch building a Shopify theme from scratch.
Something I keep running into with stores: people want to A/B test their way
to more sales, but the storefront looks like every other Dawn install. There
is nothing to test yet. The design is the variable.
So this one is mine end to end. Brand, storefront, 62 custom sections.
Demo brand, real build. Take a look:

Love this perspective. A/B testing only works when there’s something meaningful to test. The foundation and experience matter first.

Being a designer feels like a superpower. Build a prototype? Nope. A fully working app? Yes! Here’s what I made:
Leela is a 2,000-year-old Indian board game with 72 squares, one question, and one die. You roll to enter, move through named inner states, and write a reflection at each square.
Existing versions are either flat, digitised boards or feature-heavy wellness suites. I wanted to make a quieter one.
How I built it:
→ Flowstep MCP wired into Claude Code, Created Flowstep screens directly on canvas and implemented changes from the canvas and using Figma, Design MD file inside of Flowstep is a gem, helps to create cohesive design fast
→ Three complete design iterations before the visual language felt right: a night-sky version, a minimal one, and finally the aura direction that shipped.
→ A playable build deployed on Vercel with the real rules: roll a six to enter, three sixes burn, land exactly on square 68 to complete the game, and landing on square 72 sends you back to 51, music on/off, record or type settings.
→ An optional AI guide running behind a serverless function, so the API key never reaches the browser. The game is fully playable without it.

can't wait to try out this game, a 2000 year old game with 72 squares seems like a real challenge, I don't know but my mind is telling me "SUDOKU STRATEGY" 😂. I love also how many screens you have and the consistency that you respected.
A closer look at the identity we designed for the Rylo rebrand.
I teamed up with @hunterthompson to shape the logo, typography, icon system, colour palette, and full visual identity.
Rylo came to us with a strong foundation, but the existing identity felt a little to clinical and lacked the personality to match the product.
So we rebuilt the logo and icon system around Rylo's core purpose: a letterform, an audio waveform, and two opposing shapes representing communication, all in one simple, distinctive mark.
That mark became the engine of the system, driving the wave patterns, graphic language, motion, and supporting assets into one cohesive identity.
One of those projects where a single idea grows into an entire visual language. Loved every minute.
Huge congrats to Rylo on raising $100M and making communication more accessible for those who need it most
