What makes a true crime documentary truly engaging: the storytelling, suspense, or the editing?

This project explores how cinematic visuals, compelling pacing, and strategic storytelling can turn complex investigations into captivating documentary experiences. What's the one element you think keeps viewers watching until the very end?

For me, it's the storytelling. A well-told story keeps you curious and makes every detail feel important. Great editing just makes the experience even better! 👏

Exactly. When the storytelling is that sharp, every cut, pause, and detail lands harder. Great editing doesn’t just polish the story… it makes you feel it. 👏

Designed a modern Healthcare Landing Page.

A calm teal and soft blue interface with elegant serif typography for a warm and trusted first impression.

A quick doctor search, friendly doctor profiles, hand-drawn medical illustrations, patient reviews, and a mobile booking section make finding care feel simple and human. Clean cards, generous spacing, and a bold wordmark footer keep the whole page clear and easy to explore.

New case on the profile: 3 Pokemon cards rebuilt as interactive Rive Animation

The brief we gave ourselves was simple. Catch that feeling of tilting a holo card, just on a screen.

So the eyes follow your cursor, every card has three moves, and the background switches between idle and action. There’s a pack to open and a randomizer that deals you a card.

Have a look at how it all came together 👇
