Designed and animated a 404 page that doesn’t feel like an error.
Most 404 experiences are overlooked — but they’re actually a key moment to build trust and personality.
This concept focuses on:
• Character-driven storytelling
• Soft, calming UI
• Clear navigation back to safety
• Subtle animation to keep users engaged
The goal: turn confusion into comfort.
If you’re building a product and want every state (even errors) to feel intentional — let’s work.

Tried @FLORA for the first time and let me tell you, I'm hooked! 😍
It all started with a simple observation:
Sportswear isn’t experienced in one context.
(trust me, the gymrat in me knows what she's talking about)
It’s worn. It stretches. It moves. It lives in real environments.
But most product visuals live in one world: studio, clean, controlled.
So I built a system that turns a single piece into five visual dimensions:
• Macro → feel the material
• Studio → see the product
• Real life → understand the use
• Urban → project the identity
• Packshot → observe the detail
5 shot types × 4 variations each: a complete visual system from a single input
No photoshoot. No heavy setup.
Just one image → full visual system.
Curious to hear what you think 👀

Nice!
Good design doesn’t ignore ideas – it helps you see the difference.
At the start of this Kajabi project, the client asked to use their Facebook banner as the website hero.
The reason was simple: they wanted everything to feel consistent with their social media.
And we totally respect that.
Even though we knew this approach usually doesn’t work well for a hero section, we always make sure our clients can see their idea in action.
So instead of pushing back – we did both:
👉 their version (social banner as hero)
👉 our version (optimized hero section)
What’s the difference?
The banner version keeps the visual style… but it doesn’t function as a real entry point to the page:
🧩no clear headline
🧩no defined offer
🧩no call-to-action
🧩no immediate clarity
Our version focused on one thing – clarity.
What we changed:
✔️ A confident, clear headline
✔️ A simple and understandable offer
✔️ A strong CTA
✔️ A modern, clean photo of the artist (easy to recognize)
We also:
- kept the original background to maintain brand consistency
- removed the extra logo (since it’s already in the header)
Result:
The client didn’t lose their visual identity, but gained something much more important:
👉 clarity
👉 structure
👉 direction
And in the end, they chose our version
Impressive thought process.
