Cover image for Real Client: Endodontist Logo
Lake Forest
Real Client: Endodontist Logo Lake Forest Endodontics is a modern dental practice dedicated to providing compassionate, expert endodontic care in a calm and welcoming environment. The client wanted a sophisticated brand identity that felt approachable, trustworthy, and professional while standing out from the traditional look often associated with dental practices.

A carefully selected palette of muted rose, soft blush, and calming blue-gray tones helps create a welcoming patient experience, balancing professionalism with warmth and comfort. The complete identity was designed for office signage, stationery, uniforms, promotional materials, social media, and branded merchandise. Every element works together to reinforce the practice's commitment to exceptional patient care and a comfortable clinical experience.

Cover image for 🚧 Work in Progress 🚧
Started
🚧 Work in Progress 🚧 Started building my entry for the #OmmaBuildathon! I wanted to see how far I could push AI-assisted development and then take over with my own coding. So far I've built an interactive healthcare experience featuring: ✨ Interactive 3D medical hub ✨ Responsive mobile-first design ✨ Accessibility-focused layout ✨ Custom HTML, CSS & JavaScript enhancements ✨ Expanding into multiple custom pages and features One thing I learned quickly: keep an eye on your credits! 😅 Even with AI doing the initial heavy lifting, there's still plenty of room to customize and make the project your own. I'm excited to keep refining this over the next several days. More updates coming soon! #OmmaBuildathon #BuildInPublic #WebDevelopment #Accessibility #HTML #CSS #JavaScript #Spline #Healthcare #SJSLeoUniversal
