I created LUMEN ECHO because of my Mother In-law, who slowly began losing his memories to dementia.
Watching her forget names, conversations, and where he placed meaningful objects was heartbreaking. One day, while holding old family photos, she quietly said:
“I wish memories could stay attached to the things that matter.”
That moment stayed with me.
So I imagined a device that could help people reconnect with memories through the objects tied to them, not just to find lost things, but to preserve moments, emotions, and pieces of who they are.
That idea became LUMEN ECHO, a device I truly wish existed for him.
Steps i used for the project:
I used Nano Banana Pro to design both the product concept and the cinematic character contact sheet. The environmental and product-focused scenes were animated using Seedance 2.0, while all character-driven sequences were created with Veo 3.1 to achieve more lifelike motion and emotional storytelling. Finally, every scene was composited, color-graded, and professionally edited in DaVinci Resolve, bringing all the individual shots together into a polished cinematic advertisement.
Feedback on My experience using Melius:
Melius had a very different workflow compared to other tools I’ve used, which made the process surprisingly enjoyable and engaging to learn. Exploring how to navigate the platform and refine prompts to achieve the best possible results felt both creative and rewarding. One challenge I encountered was generating highly realistic human faces with Seedance 2.0, which is why I relied on Veo 3.1 for certain character-focused scenes. Aside from that, the overall experience was smooth, inspiring, and genuinely exciting from start to finish.

A concept exploration for a premium perfume brand.
The idea was to make the interface feel calm, immersive, and slightly cinematic without losing clarity. I focused on restraint, depth, and atmosphere so the product remains the hero throughout the experience.
That's awesome!
I was on a call with the owner of a major architecture firm in New York.
The founder spent the first 20 minutes talking about their philosophy and abstract concepts.
He was looking for a way to capture the soul of a space in their projects. They had a problem with the agencies they worked with. They'd spent large budgets only to receive logo proposals with stylized ancient temples, roofs, or building parts.
They hated this literal approach.
Architects and technical professionals often communicate conceptually. When this happens, it's better to bring the conversation back down to earth. So I shared my screen and showed him the identity I designed a few years ago for Emme.
Emme is an Italian 3D architectural rendering studio I created the visual identity for. I showed him the action built into the typography. The letters are made of pixels simulating a render's calculation process.
It's an approach that conveys deep abstraction without relying on trivial symbols.
The founder suddenly stopped and said: "You managed to show what they do in a single word."
That was exactly what they were looking for.
Seeing that logotype was enough for him to understand I could turn an abstract idea into specific typography. The company's action and soul made visually tangible.
Trust clicks the second a client realizes you can translate their philosophy into a visual system that works.
This looks clean and well thought out. How long did it take you to bring everything together?
Traditional UI keeps us in boxes. I wanted to build an interface that was alive, fluid, and capable of actual panic.
Meet The Singularity Core: a physics-driven, sentient narrative interface that literally melts across layout constraints to hijack the screen. It isn’t just a dashboard you command; it’s a living entity that breathes, emotes, and reacts.
By replacing rigid grids with a centralized ferrofluid engine, the Core physically reaches out to grasp and manipulate data nodes. It doesn’t just display information—it consumes and interprets it, shattering every conventional rule of UI layout.
