2d / 3d combo. From a sport series I created a while ago.
This deserves to be featured
Project:
A promo reel for a real client. A LinkedIn brand consultant who helps serious professionals show up online without the noise.
The Human by Design moment:
I built the loud version first. Big text, fast cuts, hype music. Exactly what a LinkedIn promo is expected to look like. It was competent work. Then I watched it back and deleted it.
Not because it was badly made. Because it was wrong for her. Her clients come to her to get away from that noise. A loud promo would have contradicted the thing she's known for.
AI could generate something polished. It couldn't know that polished was the wrong call for this particular client. I knew, because I built her website and I know her brand.
The decision that carries it:
Her brand has exactly one accent color. So in a 28-second reel, that color appears once, on a single word. Everything else stays calm. AI would have spread it everywhere for "visual interest." Using it once was the whole point.
Envato as the toolkit:
Stock video, music, fonts, and AI-generated textures. All from Envato. Four asset categories in one deliverable.
Real client:
Not a spec project. She's an active consultant, I built her website, and she reviewed and approved this reel.

Really great walkthrough video
Back from vacation and back to creating. ☀️
Summer is a great time to take a break from deadlines and try out new ideas.
Lately, I’ve been playing around with Cinema 4D simulations. I’ve mixed cloth, inflation, and dynamics to turn a regular sneaker into something fun and eye-catching.
I think personal projects are the best way to quickly grow technical skills. Each experiment is a chance to discover new workflows, improve problem-solving, and bring fresh ideas to future client work.
Always learning. Always experimenting.
I’m excited to keep making more product animations and motion design projects.
