Designed an author website homepage to help launch and promote her book. This was designed around a warm, personal brand feel rather than a generic corporate template. The layout leads with the author's story and book, moving into credibility sections and reader engagement touchpoints, all wrapped in a soft, editorial visual style suited to a personal/author brand

Finally get to share this one — been sitting on it for a while and couldn't post until now 🎉

Designed the full landing page (and a bunch of product screens) for XRS, a prop trading platform. The idea: traders pass a funded-account challenge, trade the firm's capital, and keep up to 80% of the profits.

Prop trading is a pretty saturated space and most platforms look the same — dark UI, generic trading stock imagery, nothing that actually sticks. So instead of the usual playbook, I leaned into a black-and-gold identity — including custom, hand-crafted illustrations built specifically for this project (the glowing spheres, gradient icons, all of it) instead of stock assets or generic 3D packs.

Some of what's in there: — Custom illustrated icons for the 3-rule system and "trader to fund manager" journey — Floating reward/payout cards as social proof right in the hero — A plan selector so people can pick account size, currency, challenge type — Trustpilot ratings + a testimonial section for trust — Support + FAQ blocks, because people are putting real money on the line

Genuinely proud of how this one came together — every visual element built from scratch for the brand, full case + more screens are up now, finally 👀

This came out great, the black-and-gold direction feels so much more premium than the usual trading platform look.

This took me about 10 minutes to customize. Tomorrow I'm releasing 5 sets that you can use and tweak yourself: • Generic • Coaches • Recruiters • AI Consultants • Early-stage Founders Change the fonts, colors & text to match your brand. It takes about 10–15 minutes from download to your first post.
