Challenge
Design a luxury retail experience that communicates prestige and trust while maintaining intuitive navigation for high-value purchases. Balance rich imagery with fast performance and create a seamless path from discovery to acquisition.
Design & UX Thinking:
Implemented a refined color palette with warm gold accents (#C9A96E) against neutral backgrounds to evoke luxury without overwhelming the product imagery. Typography choices emphasize elegance through generous letter-spacing and sophisticated serif/sans-serif pairings. The dual-theme system (light/dark) allows collectors to browse in their preferred environment while maintaining brand consistency.
Technical Approach:
Built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS for optimal performance and SEO. Responsive design ensures the premium experience translates across all devices. Theme toggle provides instant visual switching with smooth transitions.

Last year around this time I felt that Webdesign and Branding weren't scratching my design Itch anymore, and decided I would try and take on more iOS projects.
Fast forward one year, and I've worked on more than 10 projects, most of which are live in Appstore already, and landed a gig for Freelance App Designer at BeReal in the process. The best part? I feel like I have still so much more to learn!

Building a Minimal Fashion E-commerce Landing Page
Every great website starts with solving a problem, not just making something look beautiful.
The Challenge:
The goal was to create a fashion landing page that felt modern, premium, and distraction-free while keeping the shopping experience intuitive.
Some of the key challenges included:
Creating a clean luxury aesthetic without making the page feel empty.
Organizing product information so visitors can scan products quickly.
Maintaining strong visual hierarchy across the hero section and product listings.
Designing a layout that works seamlessly across different screen sizes.
My Approach
I focused on simplicity backed by thoughtful design decisions.
Here's how I tackled it:
✔ Designed a spacious layout with generous white space to create a premium shopping experience.
✔ Used a neutral color palette that allows the products to become the visual focus.
✔ Built a clear typography hierarchy to guide users naturally from the headline to the call-to-action.
✔ Structured the product grid for easy browsing with consistent spacing, pricing, and descriptions.
✔ Kept the navigation minimal to reduce friction and help users reach products faster.
The Outcome
The final result is a modern e-commerce experience that is:
• Clean and premium
• Easy to navigate
• Product-focused
• Mobile-friendly
• Designed to improve user engagement and shopping confidence
Good design isn't about adding more, it's about removing everything that gets in the customer's way.
This landing page is stunning
The aim here was to show progress in a way that feels interesting.
We wanted something experimental, a bit more visual and unusual (even flashy) than what you typically see in enterprise software.
The result is an interactive timeline that shows how someone's skills are evolving over time. You can see the overall trajectory at a glance, then tap into any skill to watch it fluctuate across weeks or months. Aspects like communication, composure, confidence, each one broken down into sub-skills like verbal communication, active listening, written communication.
The summary tells you what's improved and what still needs work. But the design choice here was aesthetic as much as functional.
