Some explorations from last week, created as part of a larger project. A few of these directions didn’t make the final cut, but they felt worth sharing as part of the process. Lately, I’ve been spending more time studying Swiss design and brutalism, trying to better understand structure, restraint, and clarity. Always happy to hear thoughts or feedback.

Brutalism in web design is beautiful, in my opinion. I like how it has evolved over time👍

Clean work man, the real challenge of swiss design is knowing that every element you place needs a purpose, nothing exists by accident. and it’s never about impressing.

Thanks Man, that's true the most challenging part of swiss design is guiding user attention in just the right way.

How many tools does it take to create brand visuals?

I’ve been exploring more ways to move from visual ideas 👉🏻 mockups 👉🏻 motion without constantly switching between tools.

Been experimenting with this workflow inside Kittl and it’s been a really smooth way to develop visual directions, test product scenes, and turn them into motion content.

Curious how you guys are using Kittl - what’s your favorite feature? 💬

Another quick project ⚡️ but with a slightly different approach.

Worked closely with the marketing team on this one. We were building a landing funnel, but instead of starting from the lead magnet, we started from the end.

First, we created the full course page to test if the offer would actually be interesting for the audience. The page was used for ads, with a form to see if the program fits the user – and if the user fits the program.

Only after that, we built the checklist lead magnet funnel to bring cold traffic and warm it up before sending people to the course page.

Projects like this are always fun because it’s not just design – it’s real marketing logic, testing, and iteration 🚀

Check it out on Contra 👇

Building the course page first to validate the offer before creating the lead magnet is genuinely smart strategy. Most people do it backwards. This is design thinking meets conversion logic.
