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 👀
Looks great
Premium and luxurious looking design!
Thank you!
Looks incredible, this type of colors and gradients are really dangerous because there is a fine line between looking fake premium and real feeling of premium but as i have seen from this design along with your great presentation you have executed this perfectly with the good...
This came out great, the black-and-gold direction feels so much more premium than the usual trading platform look.
Great job Kris 👏
Superb design !

In this episode, we sat with @Brady Patterson who went from working with top sport brands like 49ers, USC, Fox Sports, Apple, and Hulu to building cult‑like brands and high‑converting websites for roofers, garage door companies, and blue‑collar businesses.
We also unpack why “unsexy” trades might be the best niche designers are sleeping on, and how to turn creativity into consistent, lead‑driven income.

Great episode, really enjoyed recording it.
Your website is often the first impression your brand makes. Make it count.
I designed this portfolio experience around a simple idea: modern web design should look great, communicate clearly, and make it easy for the right people to take action.
I wanted the visual direction to feel bold and modern while keeping the experience focused on what matters—the work, the message, and the person behind the design.
From the typography and visual hierarchy to the dark aesthetic and interactive feel, every element was intentionally designed to communicate who I am and how I approach web design.
I design in Figma and bring ideas to life with Framer, creating modern digital experiences that help brands stand out, build credibility, and connect with their audience.
This is more than a portfolio.
It's a reflection of how I think about design.
What do you think of the direction?
Love the bold dark aesthetic and clean typography, Samuel! That portfolio design really captures a modern, intentional brand feel. ✨
Work in progress for a sport graphics package for a "Blitzball League" themed after Final Fantasy X. Plenty to do still, but the bones are strong. More to come.
Really incredible how many animated things go into sports broadcast graphics...
