Brutalist architects exposed raw concrete because hiding it cost more. What's our excuse? We just like it:) A year ago, @Ansh Jamdagni and I built Loopin as a Framer template for a cassette brand that exists only as a thought experiment. We thought of making a nostalgic yet futuristic product website and neobrutalist design was our go for this dreamy product. We posted it on Contra expecting nothing in particular. A few months later, Other Health Ventures, a VC firm backing health and performance startups, got in touch. They were tired of looking like every other fund, had seen Loopin and wanted their site built with the same instincts less navy, more hard borders and Archivo Black. They've become one of our favourite clients since. A product designer later asked for her portfolio in the same language. No brief beyond "that, but for me." What we didn't clock until the third one: this style takes more decisions than minimal design, not fewer. Minimalism hides things. This doesn't. Every border, every oversized headline, every quiet corner is a choice that has to land on its own. Tools, for the curious: — Framer for all three — GPT for Loopin's product shots (not real cassette players unfortunately, several people have asked) — Mostly restraint, applied unevenly on purpose:) What's a design choice you've made that looks effortless but took the most thinking?

Nice work. The colors and elements are used in a good way.

Kids don’t defeat fear by reading advice.

They understand it better when they can see it, shape it, shrink it, rename it, and laugh at it.

That’s the idea behind Monster Movie Studio — a cinematic interactive cartoon experience where children turn big fears into funny little animated monsters.

Instead of building another dashboard or basic kids app, I wanted this to feel like a playable cartoon episode.

A child can:

→ create a clay-like 3D monster → choose what made the monster feel big → drag magical tools onto it → direct a tiny cartoon scene → shrink the scary shadow → turn a roar into music → make the monster dance → transform it into a tiny helper → print a movie poster → share a gentle parent note

The whole experience is designed around one principle:

Every action should speak.

Not just buttons. Not static cards. Not a form with cute colors.

A tap should change the scene. A drag should transform the monster. A completed action should feel cinematic. A child should feel like they are directing a tiny animated movie.

Built with Figma Make for the Config Makeathon.

Monster Movie Studio — turn big fears into funny little cartoons.

Love how visual this feels. Not a normal app, more like an interactive animated experience.
