Project closed: brand identity for HYPNOS, a premium streetwear brand.
The client came to us with an intuition — "Dark Luxury Nomad" — but no system. Our job was to turn that mood into a precise visual language: we developed three complete artistic directions and engineered a hybrid (70% Flash Protocol, 20% Silver Noir, 10% Loud After Dark) instead of forcing a single winner.
The result: a hand-stamped wordmark, a wine magenta owl as the brand's visual signature, photography rules, and a 16-section brand guide any collaborator can execute from without ambiguity.
Every image was produced with AI generation under human art direction, refined with professional photo retouching. The machine generates; we decide.

built a crypto protocol that looks like a K-pop idol's comeback.
the rule was simple: yellow only touches the mark. nowhere else. that's it. that's the whole system.
20 touchpoints. one gesture. zero whitepaper energy.

That's outstanding work, revolte. Keep up the great work
Not everything I build lives in Framer.
This one's a code project: I rebuilt Payy's React marketing site — a stablecoin payments company — from the front-end up. New typography system, a reusable motion foundation (scroll reveals, animated stats, page transitions), a handful of custom components, and a footer with proper parallax. All hand-written, no UI framework doing the heavy lifting.
I ran the whole build through Claude Code, which is where 15 years of front-end experience actually pays off — I'm not prompting and hoping. I know what good motion feels like, how to keep things performant and accessible, and where the real work is. The AI moves fast; the engineering judgment is mine. I also work fluently with MCPs like the Figma MCP, so I can pull straight from design files into clean, accurate code.
If you've got a Figma design that needs to become a real, performant site — in React, not just Framer — that's squarely my lane. Happy to talk through what you're building.
Clean UI👏
Template #3 coming along nicely. Almost finished all pages design and animation prototypes.
For some reason I am still doing most of prototyping not directly in framer but directly in claude code
Cool 😍
