The Human Behind the AI
When people see an AI-generated commercial, it's easy to assume that AI did all the work. In reality, AI was only one of the tools I used. Every important creative decision—from the concept...

What happens when you give an old piece a dark mode and a pair of sunglasses? 🕶️
I took a piece from my portfolio and ran it through Krea 3 to see how far I could push it while keeping the original composition.
Before → light and daytime.
After → dark mode, with sunglasses.
Where it helped: quick edits that kept the composition intact, making it easy to explore a different mood.
Where I’d still go by hand: final color balance, lens reflections, and those tiny details that make everything feel intentional.
Before or after? Tell me which one you’d keep and what you’d edit next 👇

MOTIF — From Words to Pixels to Code
What if you could see your dream website before writing a single line of code, then turn that vision into something real?
That's why I built Motif, an AI-powered visual design and website creation studio, built on Base44.
We turn words into pixels. Then we turn those pixels into real HTML and CSS.
Most AI website builders take a prompt and immediately generate a website. You get what the AI decides, and often spend ages prompting, regenerating and fighting to get something that resembles what you originally imagined.
I wanted to change that.
Motif puts visual creativity before code.
You start by describing your idea in plain English. Motif explores different visual directions, generating concepts that let you actually see what's possible before committing to a design.
Once you find something you love, Motif transforms that approved visual into a real, responsive website built with HTML and CSS. Not a flattened image pretending to be a website, but actual editable elements.
And that's where Motif becomes more than an AI generator.
Inside the visual studio, you can select elements, change typography, colours, spacing, imagery and layouts, preview desktop and mobile versions, and refine the design without starting over.
One of my favourite features is Shuffle, which can dramatically reimagine a design's composition and styling, allowing you to explore new creative possibilities without writing another lengthy prompt.
I also wanted people to understand what Motif could do before signing up or waiting for AI generation. So I built a product-focused homepage featuring real application footage, an explainer video and editable sample projects visitors can explore.
Why I built it
I've spent years working across software development, 3D design and interactive experiences, and I've always been fascinated by the gap between having a creative vision and actually bringing it to life.
AI has made building software more accessible, but great design still requires exploration, experimentation and creative control.
I believe AI should expand your imagination, not replace your creativity.
Motif is my attempt to bring those worlds together: the freedom of visual design, the intelligence of AI and the flexibility of real web development.
It's designed for entrepreneurs, developers, designers and anyone who's ever had a great idea but struggled to make it look the way they imagined.
Built with Base44, Motif demonstrates how far a creative application can go beyond traditional no-code tools.
Motif isn't about generating another template. It's about making something unmistakably yours.
Imagine it. Shape it. Make it real.

It's Tomorrow: a Pixar-style AI short
A 50-second comedy where I'm the main character. My girlfriend wakes me up at 2:57 PM, I rush to CapCut World LA in my slippers… and it's tomorrow.
Workflow
Character sheets (me and my girlfriend) and props (badge, slippers, bike) generated in CapCut.
Every shot generated with Seedance 2.5 in CapCut, including the native dialogue and sound. Extra camera angles were made by feeding a shot back in as a reference.
Edit: a hook cut in the first 1.4 s, L-cuts, continuity fixes, and sound effects from ElevenLabs. Final assembly and mix done with the help of an AI assistant.
Tools: CapCut · Seedance 2.5 · ElevenLabs
