Contra Verified project: After Effects and Premiere Pro MOGRT templates for an AI data center.
Logo animation, animated map, lower thirds and stats auto-resize as you type, so the team can edit videos without a motion designer.
Refreshing my portfolio and revisiting one of my favorite projects from 2025 🧡💙
Bilsoft has made accounting software for over 20 years, and 100,000+ businesses use it every day. When we started, the trust was there, but the brand had grown piece by piece until it looked like several different companies.
The tricky part was a tension most fintech brands face. The software has to feel precise and serious, but the people using it are small business owners who just want things to be simple. So I drew the wordmark on a strict grid and softened every corner. The name does the rest: “Bil” means knowing, “Soft” means steady. Then I built it into a system the team could use without a designer in the room.
While putting the case study together, I added something new: a motion piece where the logo builds itself letter by letter.
Curious how others here handle this: when a client’s product is serious but their users want simple, which way do you lean? 👇
Full case study on my Contra profile.
I lean simple on the surface, serious underneath — and your grid-plus-softened-corners move is exactly that split. The structure carries the precision, the corners carry the approachability, so a small business owner isn't intimidated before they've even logged in. With 100,000+...
Night Quota – a Halloween game about my hometown
Monsters work one night a year. In Kharkiv, that night ends at 11 p.m. Not because of monsters. Because of the curfew.
Pick one of four monsters, walk the streets, scare people, knock on doors, and hit your quota before dawn. After eleven the streets empty and the job gets harder.
I’m from Kharkiv and I miss it, so I rebuilt it as a game. 18 districts, each started from my own photo of a real street and drawn as a constructivist poster, the style the city is known for. Every district has a local with a story about Kharkiv. The passers-by are people I love: my friends, my daughter as a little witch, and my cat Lisa, who hides in every district.
Features used: Rive CLI + GPU Canvas (both), Scripting, Data Binding, State Machines.
How it’s made
• Rive CLI + Claude Code: I’m a designer, not a game developer. I described the game, the agent wrote it, I watched the live preview and corrected it.
• RML for the scenes, Luau scripting for the logic: the night clock, the districts, the scares, the dialogues.
• GPU Canvas: one WGSL shader over the whole game. Curfew frame, searchlights, air-raid flash, a camera shutter for cat photos, the dawn report developing out of a halftone raster.
• Data Binding drives the HUD, State Machines run the buttons.
• Rive Editor to play it and check every screen.
• Higgsfield for character art, from my own references and photos.
Play it on desktop, with a keyboard and mouse.
Give it about 20 seconds to load, the whole city is in there.
The combination of clawed hands and the friendly priest is awesome! 😂🔥
