PADDLE SIGNAL is a sovereign real-time field operations terminal built for Tribal Canoe Journeys across the Salish Sea. Designed and developed by Healing Hawk Studios, the platform bridges active communication between canoe families on the water, support boat captains, and shore crews at host landings.
Key Features & Finish Layer Execution:
• Custom Formline Brand Integration: Native digital Formline paddle artwork built directly into header and footer terminal consoles.
• Dual-Language Cultural Identity: Integrated Lushootseed terminology (sqʷəl, sčəɬxʷ, yəbil, dxʷsəɬqəb) across navigation and live statuses.
• Finish Layer Block Transforms: Applied dynamic rotational transforms to field-need clipboards and live video cards to recreate an active tactical field desk.
• Kinetic Typography & Telemetry: Stretched variable font styling tracks route waypoints across Salish Sea host territories alongside embedded live video feeds.
• Marine VHF Dispatch Console: Built-in quick-action buttons for Channel 16 emergency aid, ground crew volunteering, support boat logistics, and direct platform protocols.

XPlace — Crypto-Backed Visa Card Website design
Designed the interface for XPlace — a platform that lets users borrow against their crypto holdings and spend through a Visa card, without selling assets or triggering taxable events.
The challenge:
Create a product that feels both trustworthy and premium — avoiding the typical "startup" look, and steering clear of the neon/gradient clichés so common in crypto design.
The solution:
A dark, cinematic mood built around a monochrome landscape backdrop, bold expressive typography, and a metallic Visa Platinum card as the central visual anchor. Minimal elements, maximum focus on one action: get the card.
What's in the interface:
— Full-bleed hero section with an atmospheric background
— Large-scale headline that communicates value in seconds
— 3D card render as a trust-building element
— Transparent glass-effect header
Built in Framer — this isn't just the landing page, there are several more screens and flows I'll share case study separately 👀
That design, scroll transitions and color palette is very well designed with a great presentation. I like how you blend different type of scroll animations in different sections. Fits my dark sci fi aesthetic, good work!
