I built a website about a bird. It won four awards 🎉
The Bali starling is a symbol of Bali, the island I’ve been living on for the past few years. At one point, it was on the brink of extinction. But on one of the neighboring islands, local communities decided to save it, and they succeeded.
I wanted to tell this story through a website. And use the project to experiment with a new tool for me: Claude Code.
Today, the website received a Special Kudos on CSS Design Awards, along with Best UI, Best UX, and Best Innovation.
It’s great to see the experiment pay off.
Four awards for a site about a bird, love that. A conservation story like this really benefits from a scroll driven narrative instead of a classic layout.

My Recent Work -- Showreel
Ever wondered what happens when your late-night editing session goes completely wrong and drops you straight onto a Hollywood red carpet?
When I saw the challenge, I knew I didn't want to do a simple jump-cut into LA. I wanted to tell a mini sci-fi action story about what happens when an ordinary late-night editing session goes completely wrong.
I built a 30-second narrative where a late-night workstation gets sucked through a monitor onto a collapsing glass filmstrip bridge, forcing the character to run for their life straight onto the flashing red carpet at CapCut World LA. I wanted to blend realistic AI world-building with clean editing to show how powerful the combination of Seedance and CapCut Video Studio can be for creative storytelling. Hope you enjoy it!
This is my first attempt, what do you guys?
