I wanted to see what happens when you give a model a face, a voice, a personality, and actual eye contact.
So I built Zek'thar: a real-time AI science tuto. It's a photorealistic alien character that holds live conversations, teaches through Socratic questioning, and remembers what you struggled with last time.
The difference a face makes for voice agents is insane. Students engage 2-3x longer compared to text-based tutors. Turns out humans really are wired for eye contact even with aliens.
Drop a comment if you want me to break down the full build process.

Finally get to share this one — been sitting on it for a while and couldn't post until now 🎉
Designed the full landing page (and a bunch of product screens) for XRS, a prop trading platform. The idea: traders pass a funded-account challenge, trade the firm's capital, and keep up to 80% of the profits.
Prop trading is a pretty saturated space and most platforms look the same — dark UI, generic trading stock imagery, nothing that actually sticks. So instead of the usual playbook, I leaned into a black-and-gold identity — including custom, hand-crafted illustrations built specifically for this project (the glowing spheres, gradient icons, all of it) instead of stock assets or generic 3D packs.
Some of what's in there:
— Custom illustrated icons for the 3-rule system and "trader to fund manager" journey
— Floating reward/payout cards as social proof right in the hero
— A plan selector so people can pick account size, currency, challenge type
— Trustpilot ratings + a testimonial section for trust
— Support + FAQ blocks, because people are putting real money on the line
Genuinely proud of how this one came together — every visual element built from scratch for the brand, full case + more screens are up now, finally 👀
This came out great, the black-and-gold direction feels so much more premium than the usual trading platform look.
This took me about 10 minutes to customize.
Tomorrow I'm releasing 5 sets that you can use and tweak yourself:
• Generic
• Coaches
• Recruiters
• AI Consultants
• Early-stage Founders
Change the fonts, colors & text to match your brand.
It takes about 10–15 minutes from download to your first post.
Brilliant work
Terra — Natural Deodorant Landing Page
A premium short one page concept for a natural deodorant brand, designed around earthy textures, cinematic moss photography, and a refined editorial layout.
I used deep forest greens, warm ivory tones, elegant serif typography, and immersive product imagery to give the brand a more elevated and luxurious presence. I'm still building it.
Responsive layout for desktop and mobile, designed and built in Framer.
