Work peak Built each project with one rule — document the why, not just the what.

Some projects you execute. Some you inhabit. This was the second kind! The strategy came first, the intention shaped every decision after, and somewhere in the middle it stopped feeling like work and started feeling like craft:)

Work Title: CUT CULTURE

Creator: Anca-Gabriela

Main Direction: Direction A · CapCut as a Different Industry

Social Profile: https://x.com/ancaguiux

Concept Statement:

CUT CULTURE reimagines CapCut as a premium fashion and lifestyle brand for digital creators.

The concept translates CapCut’s creative spirit into a new industry: fashion. Instead of editing videos, CUT CULTURE edits identity. The brand is built around the idea that creators constantly cut, remix, rebuild, and publish versions of themselves online.

The visual system uses references from editing culture, including crop marks, timelines, split screens, layer marks, timestamps, and export tags, and turns them into a refined fashion identity. The result is a minimal, editorial, black-and-white brand world with subtle electric green accents inspired by CapCut.

Visual Highlights:

Premium fashion-inspired logo and identity system

Minimal black, white, grey, and electric green color palette

Campaign visuals built around identity, motion, and self-expression

Brand applications including clothing tags, packaging cards, and social assets

Editing-inspired graphic language translated into a lifestyle brand system

Process Proof: The project was created using CapCut Design Studio through an iterative process of concept generation, logo exploration, brand system development, campaign visuals, and final presentation boards. Process screenshots and design iterations are included as proof of meaningful Design Studio usage.

Final Deliverables:

Brand presentation boards

Logo and visual identity system

Brand application mockups

Process screenshots

Claude Code + MCPs have changed how I approach design system work. Currently deep in a Storybook documentation overhaul for a Finnish healthcare client. What used to take days is starting to feel like an afternoon job.
