Short-form video queen 👑
As creative freelancers, our best work often finds itself buried in a desktop portfolio folder because we are simply too busy - or too tired - to do outreach and pitch ourselves (please tell me I'm not alone in this!)
The Momentum Machine changes that.
Built entirely on Melius, this interactive, multi-agent workspace takes your raw, messy project assets (images, videos, text, or analytics screenshots) and instantly transforms them into a compounding business development ecosystem. Instead of tackling projects individually, it builds a "snowball effect" where one client effortlessly generates the next.

You can watch the video to see how it works in the backend and the thought process behind it, but essentially it goes like this:
⭐ The freelancer drops their project files (e.g., product photos, a text testimonial, or a cropped screenshot of analytics).
⭐ Node A uses advanced data extraction and OCR to scan the uploads, extracting any key metrics or features of your work.
⭐ Node B infers the creative style and outputs 5 to 10 complementary, non-competing industries that could be a good fit for you.
⭐ Node C weaves the raw data into a high-conversion marketing narrative structure: Hook ➔ Struggle ➔ Aha! Moment ➔ Hero Stat ➔ Closed Loop.
⭐ And then the final outputs: a case study, cold email pitch draft (to pitch those complementary industries we identified in node B), a Contra portfolio entry, and a video script to promote your work. PLUS a bonus Contra portfolio cover and a b-roll video in case you don't feel like being on camera for any reason.
PS: building this on Melius was incredibly intuitive - my favorite feature by far being how the agents interact with you in chat during the creative build - instead of just giving a generic output, they prompted me with intelligent follow-up questions with multiple choice answers to fill in the strategic blanks. It genuinely feels like collaborating with a sharp creative partner rather than just using a tool.

Say hello to Pitching Pat, and goodbye to wasting hours each day applying to jobs! 🤩
Every freelancer faces the same thing: when you’re fully booked, you don’t have time to pitch - and when your projects end, you’re left with an empty pipeline and a "cold start" problem.
Pitching is the most critical part of freelancing, yet it’s often the first thing to be neglected 😬
The solution: Pitching Pat - a Notion Custom Agent designed to turn that pitching grind into a quick, seamless process.
How it works:
The freelance brain 🧠: a centralized "source of truth" where the user inputs their services, portfolio, ideal clients, and unique brand voice.
The leads database: you drop in the job descriptions (via the save to Notion extension, or manually).
Pitching Pat: she cross-references the job against its brain to rate the job fit from 1-10, and if it scores 5+, she drafts a pitch that sounds exactly like you ✨
Impact: saves freelancers several hours a week by removing the "blank page" friction of filtering through and applying to jobs.
Reliability: by grounding the Agent in a specific "brain" page, it eliminates AI hallucinations and ensures every pitch is backed by REAL portfolio results ✅
Craft: designed for a "low-friction" setup - no complex third-party automations required - it’s a self-contained Notion ecosystem.
Durability: whether you’re a video editor today or a copywriter tomorrow, you simply update the "brain" page and the system evolves with your business 🙌
PS: the agent hasn't been approved yet, been going back and forth with Notion on some details, and currently waiting their response, but this is the link: https://www.notion.so/agent/331eb5f7-8d81-80ce-8157-009266613a90

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 😅

Framer websites and templates for studios and SaaS
Testing out some new tools today and ended up with this project. The core idea is a mashup between the classic Pokedex—specifically its ability to scan and display item rarity—and a high-end rare sneaker marketplace. Instead of Pokémon, it’s all about tracking and auditing sneaker data.
I started with a simple prompt and kept iterating by feeding it reference images, refining the details until it hit the right vibe.
For the interface, I went for a 'slideshow' feel using D-pad controls to interact with the cards. Honestly, it took me hours to get that button logic locked in—it’s not 100% pixel-perfect yet, but it works, and that’s a win for today! HEHE
The design leans into Neo-Retro Brutalism, blending 90s hardware sensibilities with modern UI patterns. Through a Skeuomorphic-System approach, the interface mimics a proprietary firmware environment—using a terminal-first aesthetic and data-dense layout to create a physical sense of 'system presence' rather than just a flat web page.
Overall, this tool is an absolute beast for brainstorming and visualizing web concepts. It’s been a game-changer for getting ideas out of my head and into a playable prototype. It really bridges the gap between 'just a static image' and 'a fully interactive system.

Just finished a new Framer template, and this one was a lot of fun to build 🪪
Badge Folio is a portfolio for web designers. Instead of a regular hero, there's an ID badge hanging from a lanyard that you can grab and move around. Your name, photo and role are right there on the card, so people know who you are in the first second.
Below the badge it keeps things simple. About, services, selected projects and client results, and a contact page where the badge sits right between "Let's" and "talk."
Full case study and remix link here 👉 https://contra.com/p/7Z6sEXbq-badge-folio-framer-portfolio-with-an-id-badge-hero
Would you put something like this on your portfolio

Senior Product Designer
A live workshop I co-hosted on using AI agents inside Figma. We connected Claude Code to a real design system and had it build production-ready components and screens directly from the tokens, live, in front of hundreds of designers. The part people always find wild is that the quality of what the agent produces depends almost entirely on how well the system is structured, which is the thing I care about most in my own work.

A small detail from the Wise design system I rebuilt from scratch for teaching at Memorisely. This navigation item is designed across every interaction state, from default and hover to focus, pressed and selected, and like the rest of the system it runs entirely on semantic tokens, so switching from light to dark is a single mode change in Figma rather than a redesign. The full system covers iOS and web, from primitive tokens through to components, and the same structure translates straight into code.

I designed the thumbnail system for Memorisely's bootcamps and live workshops. Each one needed to feel like part of the same family while making it obvious what the course was about, so I built a reusable template with consistent badges, dates and layout, then art directed real UI from each course into the frame. The result is a set that stays recognisable across the site and social, and can be extended easily as new workshops launch.

For the past five years I've been designing and teaching at Memorisely alongside Zander Whitehurst. I reverse-engineered apps like Spotify, Revolut, Airbnb and Wise into full design systems with tokens, components and flows, so designers and PMs could learn from real products instead of textbook examples. I also recorded the course classes and created and ran live workshops, teaching thousands of people from teams like Google. Lately my focus has been AI workflows, building systems clean enough for tools like Cursor and Figma MCP to read accurately.

The Blockchain Virus: How It Detects and Heals Itself 🦠
Imagine if every piece of data could protect itself — like a digital virus that spreads, checks its copies, and deletes any infection automatically. That’s exactly how blockchain works.
In this video, you’ll see how each block copies itself across thousands of computers, how the network detects an attack, and how consensus heals the chain without a single human involved.
