Three flavours. Three corners of the universe. ✦
A closer look at Nova Energy, the fictional energy drink brand I’m turning into an immersive web experience.
Each flavour has its own atmosphere: the violet depths of Deep Space, the restless glow of Ancient Spark, and the gravitational pull of Event Horizon.
I’ve been refining how the experience moves between them — from the can’s rotation and texture transitions to the opening sequence that follows.
The goal is to make the product, motion and interface feel like parts of the same story.
Which frequency would you choose: Deep Space, Ancient Spark, or Event Horizon?

The three-flavour structure gives the experience a strong narrative spine, and the transitions from can rotation to texture sound like a great way to bridge product and interface. Deep Space is my pick—the visual mood feels especially distinctive.

Kogy — AI Companion Toy / UI/UX Design
Designed the landing page for Kogy — a plush, keychain-sized AI companion that learns, plays, and keeps you company throughout the day.
The tricky part with products like this: lean too techy and you lose the cuteness, lean too cute and it stops feeling like a real smart device. So instead of the usual soft-pastel illustration route, I let real hero-scale photography of the plush character carry the whole page — its actual texture, its little smile, its scale as a keychain — wrapped in bold, high-contrast orange and oversized type.
A small character-selector strip (Lumi, Mochi, Poppy) hints at collectibility, and a live scrolling stat ticker at the bottom (questions answered, active companions) keeps it grounded as a real AI device, not just a toy.
Genuinely one of the more fun briefs I've worked on.
The live stat ticker (questions answered, active companions) is what sells the AI-device framing here, not the photography — a plush toy with a counter reads as a running system, not a static product shot.
Science websites can have a pulse.
A look at Hypesound by Bright Studios. Ocean textures, oversized type, and room for the science to breathe.
The natural world gives the site its character. The typography gives it structure.
The ocean texture doing double duty as backdrop and pacing device is a smart move. Most "science can be fun" sites lean hard on illustration and end up busy. This one actually breathes.
pretty simple and clean, looks good
