Every project starts with a blank canvas, but the goal is never just to fill the space.
It's to create something that communicates, connects, and delivers value.
I enjoy working with founders, startups, and businesses that understand great design is an investment in how their ideas are perceived. Whether it's a brand identity, a presentation, or a visual system, I approach every project with strategy, attention to detail, and a focus on clarity.
If you're looking for a design partner who values thoughtful execution as much as creative ideas, I'd love to connect.
Let's turn your next idea into something people won't forget.

Web concept for bem. The product turns messy documents into structured data, so the brand does the same thing visually. Every image dissolves into pixels, every layout resolves back into grid.
How did you first come up with the idea to use pixel dissolution to represent unstructured data? Did you explore any other visual metaphors before landing on this one?
For this challenge, I built Hydrated: a fictional summer soft drink — carbonated, ice-cold, citrus-sharp — with a visual identity built entirely around temperature. The can runs a gradient from pale ice to deep navy, top to bottom, so the design itself feels like it's getting colder the longer you look at it. Tagline: "Stay Cool. Be Cool."
Using Envato as my toolkit, I sourced the typefaces, built the can label in Affinity Designer, and composited it onto a photorealistic mockup in Photoshop. I then used Envato's AI Video Generator — with a custom Start Frame and End Frame built from my own can mockups — to generate the hero shot: the can dropping into an ice bucket, splashing, sinking, and settling cold. Claude helped draft the ingredient list and nutrition copy, and I built a companion landing page in HTML/CSS so the brand exists somewhere real, not just in a video.
Target audience: Teens and young adults, roughly 10–28 — people who live for summer and want a drink that matches the mood: crisp, cold, a little bit of attitude.
Human by Design moment: The AI video. The first generation rotated the can in a way that mangled the label, and it took several rejected takes before one actually held up. Deciding which take was right, and which word was right, was human work from start to finish.
Thank you to Envato and Contra for putting this challenge together — for the toolkit, and for the push to make something real out of an idea instead of just thinking about it.
Stay cool. Be cool.

Awesome!
One of our older concepts that still stands out to us is Sentra Wallet.
At the time, most crypto wallets leaned into dark themes and interfaces that felt built for experienced users. We wanted to explore a different direction. Something brighter, friendlier, and easier to navigate without losing the feeling of security or control.
The goal was simple: make managing digital assets feel approachable. We focused on clear information hierarchy, intuitive navigation, and a visual identity that didn't rely on the usual Web3 design trends.
Looking back, we'd definitely refine parts of it today, but the core idea remains the same. Great product design isn't about making crypto look more complex. It's about making it feel easier to use.
Going brighter and friendlier for a crypto wallet is still the harder design problem, most teams default to dark mode because it's easier to fake secure. What was the biggest pushback from users used to the darker wallet convention?
