For the cover of At Dawn They Came, I wanted to encapsulate the haunting reality of authoritarian repression through a minimalist, yet symbolic design. Using a black hardcover with vertical cutouts, I've created the effect of prison bars, beneath which a historic photo of political prisoner Elena Amberg appears.
The project received dozens of rejections from print houses we reached out to. Just when we thought we wouldn’t find a printer capable of delivering perfectly clean cutouts, we connected with Pulsio Print, who brought the book to life.
Only 3 copies left on Amazon.

Always wanted to turn my diary into a zine.
Not a perfect, polished comic. Just a messy, tactile, indie mini-zine — the kind with halftone dots, paper textures, and a big KER-THUNK! when your oat milk latte spills on the subway.
So I built INK + ECHO.
A tiny studio where you write on the Diary Desk, style your protagonist in Character Ink — 3D glasses, cozy knit or biker jacket, shock lines or warm grin — and compose it into a 4-panel story with SFX and Riso textures.
I designed it in @Flowstep , and brought it to life with Antigravity using MCP . From static frames to a live prototype.

DO preview the UI screens.
Would love feedback on the character studio!
