For this project, I created a social media content series for a gym brand with a bold, energetic visual direction. The designs focus on fitness, motivation, workouts, and educational content, using strong typography, athletic imagery, and a consistent blue-and-white look.
I then brought the designs into motion using Jitter, adding movement and transitions to make the content feel more dynamic and engaging for social media.
I really enjoyed playing around with how much personality could be added to the designs without making the animation feel too busy.

When do you know a design actually has enough?
In university, one of my professors kept using the word "suficiencia." There isn't a clean translation for it, but the idea was strict: if a detail adds meaning to the concept, it stays. If you're adding it just because it looks nice, it goes.
I didn't think much of it at the time. Now it's the question I ask before every project ships.
What's the one thing you were taught early on that you still use on every project?
Suficiencia is such a powerful lens for design! Stripping away the fluff until every single element carries real intention is what turns a good layout into an iconic one

A good website developer shouldn't say yes to everything.
“Can we add this animation?”
Yes.
“Can we add another popup?”
Yes.
“Can we put everything on the homepage?”
Yes.
“Can we add 15 more plugins?”
Yes.
That's not always good service.
Sometimes the best answer is:
“No. I don't think that's a good idea.”
Not because it can't be done.
But because it shouldn't be done.
I've learned that my job isn't simply to execute requests.
It's to question them when necessary.
If something makes the website slower, harder to use, harder to maintain, or less effective for the business, I'd rather explain the problem than blindly build it.
Clients don't just need someone who can build.
They need someone who can think.
And sometimes the most valuable thing a developer can add to a project is a well-timed:
“Let's rethink that.”
Would you rather work with a developer who always says yes or one who challenges your ideas when necessary?
I've found that a no lands better when the client can see the tradeoff. I'd show what the extra animation or popup costs in load time and attention, then offer the smallest version that still does the job.
