Velvet Stage — Ritualized Body & Queer Dream Aesthetic
This project is inspired by underground queer cinema and theatrical stage aesthetics, where the body becomes part of a ritualized visual space rather than a purely narrative subject.
I was drawn to the idea of constructing intimate, artificial dream scenes — spaces that feel...

✈️ AI Travel App Concept for the Stitch Challenge
For this Stitch Challenge, I decided to test what AI can do in my strongest zone - mobile app design.
My agency and I have created 350+ mobile apps across AI, hospitality, wellness, hotel platforms, marketplaces, and travel-related products. So instead of creating just a nice UI shot, I wanted to test Stitch on something closer to a real product.
The concept:
An AI Trip Planner App that helps users discover trips, generate a personalized travel plan, optimize the budget, and turn everything into a ready itinerary.The main UX idea was to show how an AI travel agent can guide the user from curiosity to action:
→ Discover trip ideas
→ Generate a plan
→ Build a route
→ Optimize budget
→ Show savings
→ Push the user toward booking
I used:
a product specification
a Claude-generated visual reference
the same prompt direction in Stitch
then Figma polishing to improve spacing, hierarchy, consistency, and final presentation
Claude gave me a strong visual reference.
Stitch gave me the first working structure.
The biggest advantage of Stitch for me was iteration speed. With the free / Gemini access, I could generate and test more without constantly thinking about tokens. Claude is paid in my workflow, so for fast visual exploration Stitch was actually useful.
After Stitch generated the first version, I refined it in Figma and turned it into a cleaner, more premium mobile concept.
Final outcome:
AI Travel mobile app concept
Trip discovery experience
AI trip planning flow
Budget and savings logic
Smart recommendations
This challenge was not only about “can AI generate screens?”
🟢For me, the real question was:
Can AI help a senior mobile designer move faster from reference and prompt to a product idea that actually feels usable, structured, and business-focused?
My answer: yes - but the depth still comes from UX strategy, product thinking, visual direction, and final design judgment.
If your mobile app looks good but users still don’t activate, return, or convert - I can help you find the leak.

Honestly, this is one of the best submissions I’ve seen.
Building a Premium Identity: Using Minimalist Visual Storytelling to Drive Luxury Positioning for Apamiam Face Cream.
The Challenge: The client struggled to differentiate their face cream in a saturated market. The brand felt "generic," leading to poor organic engagement and low premium-pricing acceptance.
The Strategy: I repositioned the brand as a "lifestyle essential" rather than just skincare. Using my experience in minimalist design, I created a sophisticated, cohesive visual language that highlighted the tactile, sensory experience of the product.
Hey Seth
💸 HE SPENT $120,000 BUILDING THE WRONG THING. The app looked finished. The roadmap looked impressive. The team looked busy.
But users didn’t care.
They signed up. Clicked around. Left. And never came back.
⚠️ The expensive mistake wasn’t bad development. It was asking:
“WHAT SHOULD WE ADD NEXT?”
instead of: “WHY ISN’T THIS WORKING?”
After 350+ mobile apps, I see this pattern constantly: Most products don’t die from one huge failure.
They die from small leaks nobody questions:
→ weak first-session value
→ unclear motivation
→ too much friction
→ poor retention logic
→ no reason to return
🚨 Before you spend another month building more, find the leak first.
I’m opening a few Mobile App Diagnostic Calls this month.
