A lot of AI image/video tools are expensive.
That’s not what bothers me.
What bothers me is when a tool charges premium pricing while still missing the workflow depth that would justify it.
That’s my issue with ElevenLabs Flows.

Does AI real-time video editing actually work?
One of my international clients, SIM Ready powered by Vodafone, needed a creative way to communicate their message.
I handled the entire process — from storyboarding and script visualization to creating the final cartoon-style animated video.
Watching a simple idea transform into animated characters, engaging scenes, and a complete visual story is always one of the most rewarding parts of the creative process.
This project was designed to make the brand message more engaging, memorable, and easy to understand through animation.
What do you think of the final result?🔥

Oxtrice - AI-Native Invoice & Cash Flow Dashboard
Most invoice tools show you what happened. Oxtrice tells you what's coming.
This is a solo design exploration built around one question: why do freelancers and small agencies still get blindsided by late payments?
Before opening Figma, I spent time researching the actual pain — using AI as a research partner to map where money leaks happen in creative businesses. Three problems kept surfacing:
① Late payments nobody sees coming
② Scope creep that never gets billed
③ Cash flow that's completely unpredictable
So I designed around those. Not the other way around.
What's inside:
Revenue briefing dashboard — received, awaiting, overdue, and AI-predicted income at a glance
Cash flow forecast — 9-month projection with received vs predicted vs overdue breakdown
Client payment risk scoring — low, medium, and high risk segmentation across all clients
AI Briefing panel — proactive alerts for overdue invoices, undetected scope creep, and payment likelihood
The result:
A dashboard that doesn't just display numbers — it tells you what needs your attention today, and what's coming next month. Designed for freelancers and small agencies who are done guessing.
