I love when clients have proper brand guidelines to follow, so I can translate their identity into a living motion system properly. This was a really fun project to work on, especially finding a way to incorporate the branded dot and making it have its own personality through motion. 😊

Great execution and attention to detail. Love it Dani!

Retro Reel Timer — Minimal Cartoon UI A playful reinterpretation of a classic reel-to-reel timer, redesigned with a softer colour palette, simplified shapes and a clean cartoon-inspired visual style. The interface keeps the nostalgic character of analogue recording equipment while presenting the controls in a modern, friendly and easy-to-understand layout.

The design focuses on strong visual hierarchy, balanced spacing and clear interaction states. Bold timer typography, rounded controls and subtle depth help the interface feel approachable without becoming visually cluttered, creating a distinctive concept suitable for a mobile timer, audio recorder or productivity application.

The reel spools doubling as eyes is a smart way to add character without adding extra elements, keeps the layout clean while still being playful. Nice fit for a productivity tool that doesn't want to feel sterile.
