A room for staying a little longer 📚
Spent a few evenings in Blender on this one: a quiet library, shelves rising to the ceiling, a curved wooden staircase, a big leafy plant by the window, and low afternoon light cutting across the floor.
No brief, no client. Just wanted to build a place where nothing is in a hurry, and the best seat in the room is the one with the worn wooden chair. ☀️

Amazing!
What happens when propaganda designed to erase the self gets pointed at the self instead?
Soviet propaganda spent 70 years trying to erase the individual soul in favour of the collective machine. I pointed that exact visual language at the thing it was built to suppress.
I kept...
A motion study for AEONIS, a concept health optimisation and longevity clinic. The octopus can regrow its own limbs, so it became the brand’s subject: a living case for repair and renewal.
I modelled and animated the turn in Blender, then rebuilt every frame as its own print: thermal heat maps, negative scans, overcast silhouettes, paper studies, mist and colour bleed. Each image changes on twos like stop motion, so the octopus turns continuously while its look never settles.
AEONIS is a fictional brand created for this piece.
The mix of textures and changing visuals sounds so unique! Such a creative way to connect the octopus with the idea of renewal. 👏
Snap — Interactive 3D Patch Studio
The problem
Customizing clothes online creates a gap between what the customer imagines and what ends up on the sewing table. People want creative freedom; production needs exact instructions. The result is endless back-and-forth and “where do I put this patch?” messages.
The build
I’m a designer, so everything started in Figma — every screen, hover and sticker. Then I rebuilt it in Base44, one prompt at a time: layout first, then motion, then the 3D studio.
In the studio, you drop patches anywhere on a real 3D shirt, then rotate, resize, duplicate or undo. On mobile, it’s built for one thumb: separate modes for viewing, placing and editing, and quick zones like Chest or Sleeve. Small details carry the brand: hover a patch in the catalog to see it sewn on a shirt, or hover the headline letters to watch them turn into 3D type.
Three things fought back:
Patches on a real 3D shirt — solved with surface decals that follow the fabric.
Saving exactly what people design — solved with automatic front/back snapshots.
One-thumb mobile editing — solved by splitting the studio into clear modes instead of shrinking the desktop layout.
Automation
Snapshot → production (saves time, removes errors). The moment you add to bag, snap captures your design front and back. The snapshots go to production with the order, and the admin can download a ready-to-print production sheet as a PDF. What you see is exactly what we sew.
Status emails (customer experience). Change an order’s status in the admin, and the customer is notified automatically: in production, shipped with tracking, delivered.
Owner alerts (operations). New orders and contact messages land in my inbox right away, with a link to the order.
Waitlist (leads). Unreleased items like the hoodie collect sign-ups instead of being a dead end. The moment I switch it live, everyone waiting gets an email.
Vibe code. Vibe design. Real thread.

Full screencasts are in the comments: the customer flow (from the catalog to checkout, on desktop and mobile) and the admin flow (the order with its snapshots → the production PDF → a status change → the automatic email).
Ohhhh wowww this is nice
