This project reminded me why I love branding.
Not because of the logo design—but because of everything that comes after it.
I challenged myself to build more than a logo. From strategy and identity to packaging, campaign visuals, product design, and motion visuals, every detail was crafted to create a luxury brand that's as inclusive as it is beautiful.

AI gave ideas. Human judgment built the brand.
For the Human by Design Challenge, I created Cronut Café; a conceptual bakery brand, to explore how AI can speed up ideation without replacing creative direction.
I used Envato's ImageGen to generate early logo concepts, then relied on my own judgment to refine the logo, typography, colour palette, and visual identity in Adobe Illustrator. Once the brand direction felt right, I returned to Envato to create mockups, also using VideoGen to bring the identity to life through motion.
The biggest decision was knowing what to keep, what to change, and what to throw away.
That's the part of design that will never change 🚀
Thanks @Envato and @Contra for the challenge! 💚

Cool, my first ever Framer plugin got approved and is live for use! With this plugin you can get a design style system set up easily.
It generates Text & Color styles in Framer. The default semantics are based on Wise's design system! Customize it, use other presets etc. 100% free for use as well.
Let me know if you get to try it out! It's called Sonic.

I wanted my own Raycast-like design tool that I could pop open with a hotkey combo while working on any project. So I vibed it into existence on my mac in a single day. Opus 4.5 is no joke.
Some minor flaws but loving it so far.
For anyone wondering I made this with Claude Code using this workflow:
1. Discuss the project idea and initialized the Xcode project (Swift + Swift UI based) - Opus did this without issue.
2. Brainstormed the workflow pattern in plan mode with Claude for the best path to get all features working as expected
3. Build one feature at a time, frequently unit & integration test them, then commit to a proper branched git repo.
4. Also, if i thought Opus wasn't fully seeing the vision, I'd have Gemini 3 run double checks or give its own ideas.
Highly recommend trying this out, build your own tools!

Today's design experiment in Figma: AI interactions.
I love Claude's 'quick' widget on Mac that sticks to the top tool bar/icon bar. I imagine those will start to become the norm in AI tools. No need to go to the website or even fully open the software, just open a quick widget and interact with them right away.
Bonus points for every additional feature added to boost the UX - things like speech detection, connectors to your favourite apps and other AI tools.
Hope you like it. Happy Sunday.
