Cover image for I'm recording a youtube video

I'm recording a youtube video right now and talking about having a strong portfolio and how important it is to show your work made me remember mine has been dormant for a while 🫣 This is a pretty simple logo animation I did a while ago but for some reason I just love it - maybe it's the colors or just the simplicity of it? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Cover image for hear me out: a Tinder...but

hear me out: a Tinder...but for freelance jobs 🤔 idk about you but every morning i find myself sorting through a bajillion jobs in different platforms, looking for any red or green flags that make me want to apply or give up on freelancing all together. is it just me? so i came up with the idea for FILTER, your morning companion to swipe left and right on job cards with the key info you need to know about them, all while you sip your morning coffee ☕️ then, once you're fully awake and ready for the day, you open your laptop and there you have it: an email with the list of all your picks, so you can apply and move on with the rest of your work day! check it out for yourself (or see the walkthrough in the video below!) https://app.flowstep.ai/file?activeFileId=4ce93422-2008-4b60-9703-30561f1c02eb

Cover image for oof! finally able to share

oof! finally able to share the final piece!! if you haven't been keeping up with my updates: ⭐ on day 1 I brainstormed alongside Gemini, merging my ideas with theirs and ending up with an outline of what I wanted to do for this challenge ⭐ day 2 I collected the raw footage I filmed and started putting together a folder with all my assets ⭐ day 3 I dove into Envato for the first time in years and found stock video, music and sfx, and used AI to alter both one of my own clips and a stock one ⭐ day 4 was for the final touches, where I recorded the voiceover and put all the other assets together into the video you can see below - my final submission! (I also attached a screenshot of what my final project folder looked like - organized by source of each asset) my biggest AI win was definitely the clip where I asked it to replace my water bottle with the coffee machine and it mimicked my rings and tattoos without me even asking my AI flop, where I decided to intervene because AI just didn't do it justice, was the voiceover - it just felt off and emotionless, and instead of trying to tweak it to perfection I decided to just pick up the mic and do it myself! I'm also gonna be sharing this final video on my Instagram @freelancingwithsilvia - feel free to follow me there for all the freelancing vibes 🤩

Cover image for As a marketer and business

As a marketer and business owner, I know one thing: in 2026, if your business doesn't have both a website and at least one social platform, it feels a bit sus... 😒 That’s why for this challenge it took me less than a minute to choose my favorite local spot: Coffee Village, an eclectic, quirky coffee shop in Palmela that serves the most amazing cappuccinos and cheesecakes 🤤 But...despite their incredible charm and delicious treats, their online presence wasn't doing them justice - hence why I decided to give them the digital home they deserve ✨ 🟥 BEFORE BASE44 They had no website whatsoever, and their custom cake orders were completely scattered across a landline phone, Facebook messages, and Instagram DMs. Managing this during holiday rushes like Christmas and Easter must've been CRAZY 😵‍💫 🟩 AFTER BASE44 I built a fully responsive, bilingual (PT/EN) website that both reflects their unique decor - including their signature wall stripes and dark wood tables - and speaks directly to the audience they're trying to attract! You can see it for yourself 👉 https://coffeevillage.base44.app As for that cake order situation...that's where the automation came in! I built a streamlined cake order system, so customers can submit their orders in one centralized place. The backend workflow automatically: 👉 Triggers an instant email confirmation to the customer. 👉 Sends a structured email summary directly to the owner. I'm handing the site over to the owner tomorrow and can't wait to see their reaction!!! Next up on my to-do list? Bringing my professional camera to the shop to shoot even better photos and videos for them, both of the space and the food & drinks! Here's to helping local businesses glow! 🥂

Cover image for Branding & Hero Animation for

Branding & Hero Animation for Newly.app (http://Newly.app) — AI App Builder End-to-end branding and hero section design concept for an AI platform that turns ideas into native iOS and Android apps without writing a single line of code. What we did: → Brand Identity: Visual language, color palette, and typography system. → Hero Section: Animation concept built around the metaphor of [insert your metaphor, e.g., "ideas transforming into live products"]. → Motion & UX: Micro-interactions, transitions, and scroll behavior. The Challenge: Visually conveying the speed and "magic" of AI while maintaining a professional, tech-forward, and trustworthy image for founders and entrepreneurs. The Result: A high-impact hero animation that explains the product's core value proposition in under 3 seconds—capturing the feeling of [insert emotion, e.g., "turning a raw idea into a shipped product with total control"]. Tools: Figma, After Effects, Cinema 4D Client: Newly (http://Newly.app)

Cover image for Hi everyone!
I've been working with

Hi everyone! I've been working with FANCY studio for over three years now, creating 3D illustrations and animation, landing pages, and app interfaces. Over this time we've delivered a wide range of projects, earned Awwwards and CSSDA recognition, and built up solid experience in fintech. One of our signature strengths is crafting lightweight yet impactful, high-quality hero animations — without AI — that use metaphor to convey the essence of a product. Our landing pages always strike a balance between wow-factor, meaningful content, and fast load times. I'm interested in both small projects and long-term collaborations. You can check out my work here: https://dribbble.com/wewillfancy Looking forward to working together!
