An environmental information system for classrooms
Air quality in classrooms tends to go unnoticed. CO₂ buildup happens gradually and silently, affecting the wellbeing and focus of students and teachers with no clear signal to act on. Polucio was conceived as an accessible environmental information system that turns complex data into a simple visual signal, letting anyone in the room understand when it's time to ventilate the space without relying on technical data or external apps.
Designed the landing page and dashboard preview for Thaw — an AI platform that tracks anxiety, mood, and burnout, framing emotional buildup as frost that gradually melts through guided sessions.
Mental health apps tend to land in one of two places: too clinical to feel human, or too soft to feel like it takes anything seriously. So the whole design leans on one strong metaphor instead — a head encased in melting ice — and lets oversized typography wrap directly around it for real visual weight.
Below the hero, the dashboard preview does the harder work: mood stability, anxiety signals, sleep quality, and a specific AI-detected insight that makes the product feel genuinely perceptive rather than generic.
A warm dark palette with cool blue type keeps the tone serious without tipping into heavy.

What should a platform for tokenized private equity look like?
Probably not like another traditional bank.
For ICME, the client wanted a visual direction that felt modern, disruptive, and native to a new kind of financial market.
The challenge was finding the balance: make the experience bold enough to feel different, while keeping a complex product understandable and credible.
I developed a digital-brutalist direction with retrofuturist touches - oversized typography, hard contrast, pixel textures, raw layouts, blue gradients, and controlled motion.
I worked with Arash Attar and the ICME team across the landing page and parts of the wider product interface. This video focuses specifically on the landing-page experience.
The goal was to:
— Explain tokenized private-company equity more clearly
— Create a memorable visual identity for the product
— Speak to both investors and founders
— Make financial technology feel ambitious rather than conventional
Would this visual direction make you want to explore the product - or should financial platforms feel more restrained?
