CRAFTED - Every thread directed by hand. 🧵
For #envatochallenge "Human by Design," I built a fashion promo for CRAFTED, a handmade patchwork clothing brand using Envato.
My "Human by Design" moment: The AI kept morphing my garments into new designs technically impressive, but it destroyed the one thing that mattered: the handcraft. I rejected dozens of generations and rewrote every prompt around one rule preserve the original, animate only the air around it. Gentle sway, trembling thread, nothing more. Restraint was the creative call AI couldn't make.
Other calls only a human makes:
No machine, no AI can replicate that touch. That's the brand's whole story: crafted by humans, only possible with humans.

THREADLINE ATELIER
A premium booking experience for a custom fashion studio in Lagos.
I wanted to solve a simple problem: when someone asks, “Can I book with you?”, the designer shouldn't have to spend the next hour going back and forth about availability, measurements, event dates, and scheduling.
Threadline Atelier turns that into one smooth flow:
Inquiry → Design Brief → Availability → Booking → Deposit → Confirmation
Customers can choose what they're making, share their occasion and event date, upload inspiration, select a real available consultation time, pay the consultation deposit, and get booked.
For the designer, it reduces manual coordination, follow-ups, and scheduling headaches.
Visually, I wanted it to feel like a luxury fashion house with a digital experience editorial typography, contemporary African fashion, cinematic motion, and subtle thread-inspired interactions.
The signature moment:
“YOU'RE BOOKED.”
This is a well structured website but the booking experience is what I looks good.
How do you build something useful for tattoo artist who are skeptical about AI?
For this #lovablechallenge I built Casa Tinta, an opportunity to support small tattoo businesses in streamlining their work, making their art more visible and the focus of the business without disenfranchising them. No art is generated, and the automation is custom built.
Our tattoo artist, Nuria, can manage her bookings, handle payments, put up flash tattoos, and have full control without any of her actual work touching Generative AI. Meanwhile she has a bespoke process that makes her life much easier. I think that's the balance I want to see with AI tools in the future.
Really glad I could be creative with this one! Also shout out to the #cap video platform for helping me continue to record on my new Linux setup.
building this for people who don't trust AI is the harder brief
