Am I too shy to create a video introduction for myself to have a better profile? No, maybe a little but I think I prefer trying something a little different. Wasn't it creativity that pulled us into this field.
The video (Meet Me) has it's own story which was inspired from my old works - Let's start with myself fearing about the things around me and later creating my own story to win the battles.
Looking to build or create stories outside my world. DM For Works! Let it be anything related to being cinematic.

Starting the week with 3 client calls in a row.
2 active Framer + brand projects
1 new product design lead
Later this week I’m catching up with a former client who went from Seed to enterprise in 3 years. Could turn into my biggest project so far ✌️
Going from Seed to enterprise in 3 years is a serious journey. What interests me is how much changes operationally as a business scales. More customers, more data, more moving parts, and suddenly visibility becomes just as important as growth itself. Excited to see what comes from that conversation! 🔥
New cover, new visual taste test.
As a visual director, the hardest choice is choosing between your own creations.
Two covers. Two directions. One choice.

What's your one-rule brand? Tell me.
Most jewelry brands photograph the object. This one photographs the grip.
AQUILIFER — a brand I built around one idea: jewelry as something carried, not worn.
Case study + full site now live.
The name comes from Roman military rank. The aquilifer carried the standard — the one thing the legion couldn't afford to drop.
That single word killed my first direction before I'd finished it.
No polish. No faceted stones.
Hand-cast, asymmetric pieces, tool marks left visible.
Photography went extreme macro, unretouched skin, hands gripping the face instead of posing near it.
Color system: two darks instead of one dark + accent.
#1E1E1E and #27331A let the brand shift register — campaign world to product world — without ever going light.
#D9DED4 stays structural only. Never a fill.
Motion rule on the site: diagonal masks only. No rotation, anywhere.
A spinning object reads as being shown off. This brand is about weight, not display.
Same angle, same easing, top to bottom.
One idea, held all the way through — name, object, photography, palette, motion.
That's the whole pitch for how I work.
Absolutely love your works!
