AI can generate a website in minutes. Building one that actually feels like a real product is a different story."
That's exactly what I've been working on.
This is an AI-powered work organizer I'm currently building. It's still a work in progress, but I'm happy with how it's coming together.
Getting to this point wasn't about finding one "magic prompt." It took a lot of iteration, prompting, testing, refining, and making improvements until the product started matching the vision in my head.
AI speeds up the process, but product thinking, design decisions, and continuous refinement are what make the difference.
I'm still polishing this one, and would share the final version soon.

Finally get to share this one — been sitting on it for a while and couldn't post until now 🎉
Designed the full landing page (and a bunch of product screens) for XRS, a prop trading platform. The idea: traders pass a funded-account challenge, trade the firm's capital, and keep up to 80% of the profits.
Prop trading is a pretty saturated space and most platforms look the same — dark UI, generic trading stock imagery, nothing that actually sticks. So instead of the usual playbook, I leaned into a black-and-gold identity — including custom, hand-crafted illustrations built specifically for this project (the glowing spheres, gradient icons, all of it) instead of stock assets or generic 3D packs.
Some of what's in there:
— Custom illustrated icons for the 3-rule system and "trader to fund manager" journey
— Floating reward/payout cards as social proof right in the hero
— A plan selector so people can pick account size, currency, challenge type
— Trustpilot ratings + a testimonial section for trust
— Support + FAQ blocks, because people are putting real money on the line
Genuinely proud of how this one came together — every visual element built from scratch for the brand, full case + more screens are up now, finally 👀
This came out great, the black-and-gold direction feels so much more premium than the usual trading platform look.
Reimagining Blitzball as a Modern Sports Broadcast
I’m Wayne Porter, creative designer and owner of Porter Design and Motion. For the Rive Broadcast Challenge, I wanted to combine several interests into one project: motion design, sports broadcasting, interactive systems, and Final Fantasy X.
Inspired by studios such as Drive Studio and Territory Studio, along with designers Jacob LaPlante and Justin Peterson, I reimagined Blitzball as a modern broadcast experience for the fictional Spira Sports Network.
Blitzball is an intense underwater sport that combines elements of water polo and soccer. My goal was to create a broadcast package that felt energetic and futuristic, while remaining clear, readable, and functional.
The project began with the network identity and main scoreboard. From there, I developed a connected system that included:
A primary scoreboard
A compact gameplay score bug
A player statistics graphic
Three lower-third variations
A full-screen matchup takeover
Consistency was important throughout the package. Each element shares the same visual and motion language, allowing the graphics to feel like part of one complete broadcast system.
Rive’s state machines, view models, and data binding allowed me to create reusable layouts, player-specific information, animated score updates, and multiple graphic variations without treating every screen as a separate animation.
This project pushed me to think beyond individual motion pieces and focus on the entire delivery as a functional product. It was a fun opportunity to explore how design, animation, and interactive logic can work together to create a believable sports broadcast experience.
Thanks for taking the time to view my submission, and good luck to everyone who participated in the Rive Broadcast Challenge.
This is the in context example.
Every product starts with understanding people, not pixels.
This is the process I follow to turn ideas into products that are clear, usable, and built with purpose.
