I realised I don’t enjoy the traditional “design reveal” mode, and most clients don’t either.
A designer receives a brief, goes away for a week, and comes back with a big reveal.
Then the client decides whether it’s right or completely off.
I prefer a different way of working.
Keeping Figma files open and Framer builds accessible allows the client to stay close to the process. Ideas can be discussed early, decisions can be made together, and small adjustments happen before they become bigger problems.
It turns the project into a collaboration, not a series of approvals.

When reviewing a studio portfolio, look past the final screenshots. Ask what the problem was and what changed between first concept and shipped version. The work shows what they can present. The process shows what they can solve.

I’m working on a new project. About a year ago, I designed a landing page for an event. Now, I’m translating that design into Framer to challenge myself.

Great work on this
One project. Four formats.
The code is written. The problem is solved. Now try explaining it to someone who hasn't spent their days inside that project.
You need to recover the details, explain your decisions, and show the outcome. Then come the visuals. Even a short post can stall there. I wanted my posts and portfolio to show the thinking behind my engineering work.
I built a system of AI agents to help turn that experience into publications. Agents work through project code and documents, draft the story, and check its claims. I choose the angle and final presentation. We then turn the story into scenes and animation.
Articles and animated video posts are already published. One project can become a detailed article, a short post, a portfolio case study, and a video that shows how the solution works.
The full workflow is in my latest case study:
