Brutus Studio is a concept website for a high-end architecture firm that operates at the intersection of silence, material truth, and brutalist design philosophy.
This project was a deliberate departure from safe, minimal design. The brief was to create something bold, editorial, and unapologetically raw.
What I designed and built:
Cinematic full-screen hero with building photography
Work portfolio grid with hover interactions
Studio philosophy and team section
Services page with editorial layout
Contact section with clean form
Serif headline typography against dark, moody backgrounds
Design approach:
Brutalist web design principles — oversized type, stark contrast, intentional tension between elements. No gradients, no rounded corners, no soft touches. The design communicates exactly what the brand stands for: architecture that doesn't compromise.

Version 2 feels cleaner and more premium to me, the spacing just breathes better
I love art and chocolate, so I brought them together on Paper.
Meet Little Hours, a fictional artisanal chocolate brand I designed and built entirely through Paper's connected canvas with Kiro as my AI agent.
Every layout, every shader, every section designed in Paper. Connected through MCP to Kiro.
The only things I brought in? The chocolate photos and the logo. Everything else Paper made it.

Optivolt AI — Energy Management SaaS Landing Page
Enterprise energy platforms are notoriously hard to communicate with. Decision-makers land on a product page and immediately face a wall of technical jargon, kWh metrics, carbon calculations, and infrastructure specs with no clear sense of what the platform actually does or whether it's built for them.
The Solution:
We designed Optivolt AI, a full B2B SaaS landing page that makes a technically complex energy platform feel immediately clear and trustworthy. A blue-dominant palette with real sky photography anchors the sustainability narrative, while a stats-row dashboard card in the hero surfaces $3,240 saved, 2.4 tons of CO₂ reduced, and 87% efficiency before the user scrolls once.
What we focused on:
⌙ Hero Clarity: Dual CTA "Get a Demo" and "View Dashboard" serve two distinct user intents without friction
⌙ Dashboard-in-Hero: Real operational metrics embedded in the hero make the product tangible instantly
⌙ Solution Card Grid: Four capabilities Analytics, AI Optimization, Infrastructure Mapping, and Forecasting separated cleanly without requiring deep reading
⌙ Use-Case Differentiation: Commercial Buildings vs. Retail & Campus Networks shown as distinct cards with photography
⌙ Performance Trust: 32% average cost reduction, ±5% forecast accuracy, 24/7 AI monitoring displayed as bold stat metrics
Tools: Figma, Jitter
