Introducing Freelancer Quest 👾
Most freelancers are Level 99 at their craft but feel stuck at Level 1 when pitching themselves.
So for this Figma Makeathon, I wanted to build something to help with that - but I didn't want it to feel like every other productivity tool - I wanted it to feel like a game.
Core Features:
⭐ Keyboard-first UX: navigate using only your keyboard - it's faster and more accessible for one-handed use
⭐ Meet Pixel: I hand-drew an NPC in Procreate to add a personal touch; I’m a sucker for pixel art!
⭐ Full retro vibes: from the palette to the 8-bit sound fx, everything is designed to make applying for a job feel like the ultimate side quest
Vision:
While this version focuses on design and interaction, I plan to integrate OpenAI later to make it as helpful as can be!

@Contra HQ and @Wispr Flow challenged me to create a Valentine’s Day themed project using only my voice - and I said GAME ON! 🤩
With the help of @Lovable I was able to bring my vision to life in record time - a game-like app for couples that can't decide what date to go on.
Based on each half's individual responses, Rekindling will recommend 3 weekly "quests" you can go on to earn XP, leveling up your relationship in the app AND in real time! 🥰
You should be able to try it here: https://rekindling.lovable.app (let me know if you have any suggestions!)

Because not every fail is a complete fail 🤪
I'll be honest with you, the client I did this for didn't end up liking the final result, but call me crazy: I loved it! And other people I showed it too also really liked the designs.
And you know what?? It's work, and it's work that I did and that I'm proud of, and I'm going to share it in my portfolio ✨
Curious to know, and be brutally honest - what do you think about these?
PS: these were done as individual, static social media ads. I believe they were for Meta in the feed, but I could be mistaken since this was a few months ago already 😅

Creating a website for my own business was super fun.
caparica.love (https://caparica.love) is my side hustle, which I started around 4 months ago.
It's all about organizing romantic events, from proposals on the beach to romantic picnics.
Something about this website I like the most is the "Book Now" button, which allows my clients to choose the experience by themselves, without me being involved.
Another useful thing is the AI Assistant. It can consult my customers on its own, providing them with detailed information.
Try out the AI Assistant on the website and let me know how it went!
While everyone is testing out the new Framer logo shaders, I decided to vibe-code my own Liquid Glass effect.
Focused on achieving that perfect organic "liquid" distortion. The way it handles complex shapes like the Claude logo is just… 🤌

Made a thinking animation for an AI chat two weeks ago. The client's logo only had the capybara in profile — so I asked @QuiverAI (https://x.com/QuiverAI) for a front view, polished it, and rigged it in SVG with Claude Code. It turns, it doesn't rotate.

Built a small tool with Claude Code for designers and devs who are tired of fighting with font-feature-settings in CSS.
Font Freezer lets you bake OpenType features (tabular numbers, small caps, ligatures) and variable font axes directly into the font file itself — so the font just works everywhere, no CSS required at render time.
Useful when email clients, After Effects, or native mobile apps ignore your CSS entirely.

Mike Smith (https://x.com/mikesmith187) shared Contra's Brand Identity Figma file (https://www.figma.com/design/Qo64brwGBmObIrPauXVxe1/Contra---Brand-Identity--public-?node-id=1560-162319&t=NMVuPB6IBlvk9IJA-1) — a masterclass in detail. The abstract Contra grid hooked me: simple yet perfectly echoing the logo.
I rebuilt that grid via vibe‑coding using v0 (https://v0.dev/). Huge surprise: v0 dropped 100 credits on my account (thanks Vercel) — instant motivation.
Result: a page where anyone can upload an image and generate an abstract grid in the Contra style.

I built a live Base44 app for Yucca Paisagismo, a real Lisbon-based biophilic design studio.
For the #base44giveitaglowchallenge, I turned Yucca’s fragmented customer journey into a structured lead qualification and CRM system.
Before:
Yucca already had a beautiful website, Instagram, Linktree, portfolio, ebooks and Calendly, but enquiries were spread across different channels and still needed manual qualification.
After:
The new Base44 app guides visitors through the right path: private clients, corporate green gifts or business spaces.
It includes:
guided intake flows
AI assistant
service recommendation logic
file and reference uploads
private CRM
automated internal briefing email
final confirmation page
Calendly CTA
Automation:
When someone submits a request, the app stores the lead in the CRM, generates a recommendation, sends Yucca a structured internal briefing email and guides the client to book a free consultation.
Built in direct collaboration with the business owner, using Yucca’s real brand, services and project imagery.

Designed and implemented two trade-in and buyback programs from scratch, focused on extending product lifecycle and creating new revenue streams.
This included defining the business model, operational flows, pricing logic, and customer journey, while aligning multiple stakeholders across the organization.
The programs were built to support circular economy objectives while also delivering strong commercial performance.
