Cover image for Prototyping with real-world scenarios, even
Prototyping with real-world scenarios, even fictional ones, is one of the best ways to sharpen skills, so here's a "client-style" exercise: a website hero animation. Keeping motion clean in hero sections is trickier than it looks. Every bit of movement needs to earn its place, or it just competes for attention instead of drawing people in. This is a mockup solar flower hero, built and rendered in Blender using Eevee for fast real-time iteration. The animation itself is intentionally simple and the real focus here was on the rigging setup driving it.

Pushed motion blur to the extreme on this one to give the cardboard tube mockup a punchy, kinetic feel rather than a static product shot. Built and rendered entirely in Blender, using exaggerated blur to show motion while keeping the packaging design legible.

Guitar knobs turning, jittered depth of field, rendered in Eevee with raytracing on. Trying to see how close I can get to that Cycles-style DOF without the Cycles wait times. This test landed way closer than expected; good sign for faster turnarounds on close-up shots like this.

Lovely animations
Cover image for Some exploration for an upcoming
Some exploration for an upcoming project. I wanted to see if it was possible in Rive to have both a static, idol clock icon set to 10:10, which then would update to the live time on hover. Turns out you can! The secret ingredient in this was using an Interpolator within Rive to ease the hands to the live time, rather than jump instantly. Together with Data Binding and basic JavaScript, we get this. Any interest in a quick tutorial for this?

Is it too hot for a ginger? Look up a cities weather and see if it's safe for a ginger to go out in. This is my submission for the Rive (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#) x Contra (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#) Character Challenge. This let's you look up a cities weather and see if it's safe for a ginger to go out in. Ginghee, our character, reacts in real time to the temperature data. It connects to weather API, so the data is live and the Rive animations update instantly. Silly ideas are the best.

Cover image for Stro entered a competitive meeting
Stro entered a competitive meeting recording market dominated by bot-based solutions (Otter, Fireflies) but with a fundamentally different approach: no bots, complete privacy, Mac-native design. The startup faced several critical challenges: Zero marketing budget - All growth needed to be organic Aggressive timeline - 500 subscribers required in 2-3 months Crowded market - Established competitors with significant market share Complex positioning - Technical privacy advantages needed translation to user benefits Mac-only limitation - Platform constraint requiring strategic advantage positioning The core question: How do you build rapid, sustainable growth for a privacy-first productivity tool without paid advertising in a market dominated by well-funded competitors?

Cover image for Growtality — SEO, Website Design
Growtality — SEO, Website Design & Growth Strategy Growtality came to us at a stage where their digital presence wasn't doing justice to the product they had built. The website lacked conversion intent, organic visibility was near-zero, and there was no structured growth framework in place. The brief was clear: fix the foundation, then build on it. Website Design & CRO Rebuilt the site architecture with a conversion-first approach — restructuring the user journey, tightening messaging hierarchy, and reducing friction at key decision points. Page load performance was improved by 40%, and the redesigned landing pages saw a 28% uplift in on-page engagement within the first 60 days post-launch. SEO Conducted a full technical and content audit. Identified and resolved crawl issues, improved internal linking structure, and built a keyword strategy targeting high-intent, mid-competition terms relevant to their niche. Within 4 months, organic sessions grew by 65% and 14 target keywords moved onto page one of Google Search results. Growth Tactics Layered in growth experiments across the funnel — from top-of-funnel content plays driving qualified traffic to bottom-of-funnel retargeting and lead capture optimisation. Implemented behavioural tracking via GA4 and Hotjar to inform iterative improvements, turning the site from a brochure into a working acquisition asset. The engagement demonstrated what a joined-up approach across design, SEO, and growth strategy can deliver — not just traffic, but measurable business outcomes.
