I made an app.
A slightly different project for me.
For years, I’ve tracked my daily habits using an orange Post-it note. Write down what I want to get done, tick it off, start again tomorrow.
I’d tried habit tracking apps, but always ended up back with the Post-it. I didn’t need dashboards, streaks, graphs or endless features. I just wanted something simple.
So I decided to build it myself.
Takto is my first iOS app — designed and built from scratch, taking it from an idea and some early Figma designs through to a real product on the App Store.
As a UX designer rather than a developer, a big part of the project was seeing how far I could push myself outside my usual role, using AI to help me actually build and ship the thing rather than stopping at a prototype.
The result is deliberately small. Add your habits. Do them. Tick them off. Your progress gradually fills the screen throughout the day.
No grand startup plan behind it. I wanted to make something I’d genuinely use, learn how to build a real product, and actually get it out into the world.
Quite nice seeing something that started as an orange Post-it sitting on my desk become an actual app.

Branding & Hero Animation for Newly.app — AI App Builder
End-to-end branding and hero section design concept for an AI platform that turns ideas into native iOS and Android apps without writing a single line of code.
What we did:
→ Brand Identity: Visual language, color palette, and typography system.
→ Hero Section: Animation concept built around the metaphor of [insert your metaphor, e.g., "ideas transforming into live products"].
→ Motion & UX: Micro-interactions, transitions, and scroll behavior.
The Challenge:
Visually conveying the speed and "magic" of AI while maintaining a professional, tech-forward, and trustworthy image for founders and entrepreneurs.
The Result:
A high-impact hero animation that explains the product's core value proposition in under 3 seconds—capturing the feeling of [insert emotion, e.g., "turning a raw idea into a shipped product with total control"].
Tools: Figma, After Effects, Cinema 4D
Client: Newly
That hero animation is really clean. Love how quickly it shows what the product does.
When designing a consulting agency website, most people lead with services.
We usually do too. It feels like the logical starting point.
But when we worked on Orvian Labs, we tried something different.
Instead of opening with what they do, we led with what the client actually needs to feel before they read anything clarity and trust.
The hero doesn't list services. It just says "We Bring The Clarity Your Business Needs." And the rest of the page builds the case quietly a scrolling industry list, a three-card value section, 120+ projects as a single trust signal, and a dark manifesto block that finally tells you who they are.
The testimonial comes last. By that point, the visitor already believes it.
What we noticed was that leading with feeling before features made the layout decisions much easier. Every section had a clear emotional job to do, not just an informational one.
This was one of our website layouts to work through. Hope you like it.
