Projects in VandaliaProjects in VandaliaBringing one of the most iconic early 2000s music player designs back to life.
This custom music player combines nostalgic Windows Media Player aesthetics, Y2K interface design, and skeuomorphic UI with modern interactions and animation.
Originally recreated entirely in Figma, the design has evolved into a fully functional interactive component featuring animated speakers that react to music, playback controls, track switching, adjustable volume, and minimize/expand functionality.
Every gradient, button, speaker, and visual detail was carefully recreated to preserve the personality of the original interface.
An exploration of retro interface design, UI animation, microinteractions, and the intersection of nostalgia and modern frontend development. Alien Babez is an original character and lifestyle concept I created around individuality, imagination, and the idea that girls should never feel pressured to look or be like everyone else. The characters were designed to celebrate difference, whimsy, self-expression, and taking up space.
I developed the Alien Babez logo and character world, then expanded the concept into a collectible product system including dolls, packaging, stationery, backpacks, stickers, accessories, and back-to-school merchandise. The goal was to create something playful enough for younger girls while still feeling visually strong and collectible for teens and young adults.
At the center of the brand is a simple idea: for girls who were never meant to match.
