New case study is live.
Kallay Studios is a visual media company specializing in architecture, real estate, and commercial projects. The original brief called for a well-structured grid system to convey professionalism and a design-oriented approach. Inspired by the grid overlays commonly seen in video cameras, this element became central to the design system and is consistently showcased across various applications to reinforce the brand concept.
A more in-depth description can be found in the project case study.
Long story short, I had a blast developing this visual system and seeing how the concept blended well with the overall identity.
It started in January. My partner and I were planning trips for March and May, and suddenly realised weβd forgotten a movie we wanted to watch and a new Korean place we wanted to try. Big plans: fine. Small ones: gone.
So I built us a shared space for all those βwe should try this somedayβ ideas. You save them together, drag one onto a day, and it becomes an actual plan.
I made it on my own: product, design, the build with Lovable, the website and the blog - Framer. 60 builds, a few App Store rejections, and one timezone bug that sent us to squash at 2am instead of 2pm xD
And there are no photos inside, just Smooches characters. Because who calls their person by their actual name anyway? (or it's just me there, huh)
That furry hand holding the phone is a scroll-stopper. These characters would be so fun animated, even just a little wiggle when a wish turns into a plan. Huge congrats on the launch.
