Radio/Rtown is a community-rooted live broadcast and sound-curation project working out of Reynoldstown, southeast Atlanta. The brand had to feel like a flyer stapled to a telephone pole and a transmission from somewhere far away — at the same time.
I designed it end-to-end: wordmark, color, type, the broadcast site, the social and event-poster system, and the on-air motion package. But the design is in service of something larger — a space for neighbors to gather, participate, and discover. To submit a sound. To make a request. To hear something they wouldn't have found on their own, and maybe point me toward something I wouldn't have either.
The work isn't about being clever. It's about being findable — readable across a parking lot, clear at 320px, the same voice on a sticker, a website, and a stream. A system built to hold a conversation.

AI gave ideas. Human judgment built the brand.
For the Human by Design Challenge, I created Cronut Café; a conceptual bakery brand, to explore how AI can speed up ideation without replacing creative direction.
I used Envato's ImageGen to generate early logo concepts, then relied on my own judgment to refine the logo, typography, colour palette, and visual identity in Adobe Illustrator. Once the brand direction felt right, I returned to Envato to create mockups, also using VideoGen to bring the identity to life through motion.
The biggest decision was knowing what to keep, what to change, and what to throw away.
That's the part of design that will never change 🚀
Thanks @Envato and @Contra for the challenge! 💚
The Cronut Café name and that latte art shot sell the concept before you even read the caption. Good call using ImageGen just for early concepts and pulling it into Illustrator once you had a direction, that workflow keeps the judgment where it should be.
Meridial — Wealth Management Platform
For Meridial, I designed a system where the one thing that matters — portfolio drift — always surfaces first, no matter how many clients an advisor is tracking.
Signal over noise, even at 200+ portfolios. ⚪
The challenge:
Advisors managing dozens of portfolios need to instantly spot what's drifted from target — without digging through spreadsheets or noisy dashboards that bury the signal in data.
A dark, grain-textured UI gives Meridial a private-banking feel instead of typical fintech blue. The landing page proves the product directly in the hero with live allocation and drift cards, while the dashboard extends the same card system into radar charts, composition breakdowns, and a weekly digest — built so advisors can scan hundreds of portfolios at a glance.
A case in making complex portfolio data resolve into one clear signal.
The dark grain-textured UI gives this a truly exclusive private-banking feel. Did you animate the allocation drift cards and radar charts using Jitter or native Figma prototypes?
I built the product my team and I actually needed: Contestify 🏆
I'm active in a community of contest hunters — we're always chasing the next hackathon, design contest, meme battle, or AI video challenge. But every contest lives somewhere different: Devpost, Contra, Superteam, Lablab ai, social media. Keeping track across all of them, as a team, was chaos.
So I built Contestify with @Flowstep — one dashboard where my team and I can discover every contest in one place, save the ones worth chasing, track our submissions, build a portfolio of wins and prize money earned, and coordinate entries together through a shared Team Hub.
From an idea born out of my own community's frustration,entirely prompted into existence. This is what "build the product you wish existed" looks like when it's something you genuinely need.
