I created what turned out to be a very late entry into last month's "Runway — Pitch Contest for Shows That Don't Exist Yet". I wasn't selected, but that's not really what stayed with me. The process reminded me how important it is to keep making things, even when the odds aren't in your favour, the deadline is tight, or the outcome is uncertain. Sometimes the real win is showing up, following the idea, and putting something into the world that didn't exist before. This project became a small reminder that creative growth rarely happens by waiting for permission. It happens by chasing the vision anyway. Here's my submission: #TheFifthFrequency Curious to hear what resonates with you. 📻

Hey Contra 👋🏽 Many of the challenges I participated in here pushed me to start experimenting with building tools and platforms. One of those experiments slowly turned into something bigger. I’ve been building a social platform called Spaxis for creatives, and it’s now about 90% ready. I realized something… as creators, our work often gets mixed in with everything else on traditional platforms,and as tools improve and creators level up, the quality of what we create is only getting better, but the platforms we use haven’t really evolved to support that. Everything still gets mixed, lost, or disconnected. Spaxis is built for where creators are heading, a space where their work can live and connect, putting creators and their work at the center, so what we create can actually stay connected and grow. Building it has been challenging, but now comes the interesting part, seeing how people interact with it. The platform is currently optimized for web not mobile, and since Contra is full of curious creators who like trying new things, I figured this would be the best place to share it. Huge thanks to Contra and YouWare for creating environments that push creators to explore, experiment, and build. This wouldn’t exist without that. If you enjoy testing new things before they’re polished: Explore Spaxis here: https://www.spaxis.co/ It’s early, so your feedback really matters here😊

WATR — Premium Visual Identity & Brand Guide Design I was tasked with architecting a clean, high-end visual identity for WATR (Kangen Water by Secret Dish), a premium, structured hydration brand. The objective was to design a minimalist brand system that instantly communicates purity, natural strength, and premium lifestyle placement across both digital assets and physical packaging.

A comprehensive branding and social media identity concept for Noula, a specialized midwifery and pregnancy care center focusing on complex medical and neonatological offerings. The design direction rejects cold, clinical healthcare aesthetics in favor of a warm, human-centric, and premium visual ecosystem. By pairing raw, editorial photography with an elegant typographic hierarchy, the brand identity establishes a deeply comforting and professional presence across digital platforms. Key Design & Branding Elements The Typography Strategy: Built around a soft, fluid, lowercase logotype with custom rounded geometry, capturing the natural themes of maternity and care. It features a subtle, floating circular emblem to signify a supportive environment. Color Palette Architecture: An intentional balance of organic warmth and medical trust. The primary hex tones include: #F1D3BB: A soft, nourishing peach/cream background skin tone to represent intimacy and comfort. #C3D5E8: A calming, modern powder blue to inject fresh, reliable medical credibility without looking sterile. Deep plum/wine tones for high-contrast body copy and secondary iconography layout. Editorial Art Direction: Utilizes authentic, documentary-style imagery (water births, maternal stretch marks, skin-to-skin touch) treated with soft film grain and desaturated tones. This approach builds instant emotional connection and transparency with expectant mothers. Multi-Channel Digital Framework Social Layout Mockups: Designed dynamic mobile frames showing how curated carousel posts bridge the gap between human storytelling and informative pregnancy resources. Asset Versatility: Developed the "nl" sub-brand monogram system, engineered to scale perfectly down to a smartphone app icon or profile picture while maintaining legible high-end presence. Brand Presentation Sheets: Asymmetric landscape layouts created to pitch the corporate identity alongside its clinical positioning statement smoothly.

Design & Strategy (Figma) Color Block Architecture: Uses high-contrast transitions (cobalt blue, lime green, powder pink, and cream) to naturally guide the user's eye and separate sections without relying on rigid border lines. Typography Hierarchy: Strategic use of condensed, heavy sans-serif headers paired with structured body copy to maximize text readability and visual impact. Responsive Asset Framing: Image containers engineered to scale cleanly, supporting mixed media from editorial studio imagery to clean graphic mockups. Development Capabilities While designed pixel-perfect in Figma, this framework is engineered to be fully responsive and optimized for seamless development. I am fully equipped to translate this exact layout into production-ready builds across multiple environments: Custom Development: Clean, semantic, and accessible HTML/CSS. No-Code / Low-Code: Fully responsive and animated setups in Webflow or highly customizable, client-friendly architectures in WordPress.

High-Fashion Visual Identity & Editorial Layout: Lilli Collins Engineered a minimalist, editorial-grade visual identity system and promotional portfolio framework for a personal wardrobe stylist and creative consultant. Leveraged high-contrast layouts, avant-garde typography, and texturized product presentation frames to cultivate an elite, publication-quality brand footprint. Core Responsibilities Avant-Garde Typography Engineering: Designed a high-impact, custom typographic logomark combining interlocking geometric letters with an integrated copyright emblem to establish premium ownership and luxury positioning. Editorial Layout Architecture: Formulated a minimalist grid template that maximizes whitespace, positioning subtle business metadata alongside focal imagery to evoke the feeling of a premium physical fashion lookbook. Textural Asset Layering: Conceptualized and executed a distinct visual style that drops sharp, dark fashion objects (like the glossy pointed-toe boot) inside crinkled cellophane textures to give flat digital portfolios a tactile, physical dimension. Cross-Industry Brand Integration: Harmoniously integrated operational micro-copy (such as studio links and contact fields) into the margins, ensuring the design remains functional for client acquisition without sacrificing high-fashion aesthetics. Key Deliverables Primary typographic logomark and brand signature stamp assets. Scalable digital lookbook layouts and promotional portfolio templates. Standardized editorial layout guidelines (whitespace distribution, margin text scales, and contrast filters).

My Renoise challenge entry is a short cinematic piece about burnout and self-overload. It looks like a rescue thriller at first, but the meaning is simple, sometimes the thing we’re trying to save is ourselves. I made this because burnout can feel like a silent emergency and with a realization that the real struggle was internal.

Why I built Pixelus I’ve been thinking a lot about the friction between "showing" work and "running" a business. For a long time, my portfolio was just a static gallery. But as I started taking on more client work and selling digital products, I realized I was spending more time managing fragmented tools than actually creating. I wanted a single ecosystem. I built Pixelus to bridge that gap. It’s a Framer template, but I approached it as business infrastructure, a way to remove maintenance overhead so your site acts as an engine, not a chore. How do you handle the balance between maintaining your portfolio and managing your business operations? X/Twitter Post (https://x.com/snoweirdo/status/2067888482232549574?s=20)
