I created a Rive character rig of a cat that follows the mouse cursor, loosely based on a tutorial but heavily customized to make it my own. For example, the eye blinks are set to trigger randomly, using a number generated as the mouse moves, making them feel more natural and less mechanically timed. I also added a subtle shadow at the cat’s feet that moves with its head, giving it a more 3D look. I’m really happy with the tracking and would love to see this implemented in other projects or similar characters. I’ve been having a great time working with Rive and hope to see more people incorporating their own custom interfaces. I’ll share more as I continue creating projects.

Here is a D-Pad created in @Rive
The setup was challenging, requiring the creation of numerous listeners and careful coordination to ensure the animations flowed seamlessly. Once completed, the result was visually magic. The experience of working with Rive has been highly enjoyable.

While browsing the applications, I came across a website redesign for Herbal Goodness (https://contra.com/company/herbal_goodness_9b1657) Shopify store. I started exploring the idea of reshaping the site to feel more organic and in harmony with nature, using a softer, calming green tone instead of the harsh green featured on their current site.
This is just a concept for the overall design, using resources from their website, but I think the flow feels a bit easier to follow.

Now that the Xbox is venturing out of its console confines and embracing other devices, I felt compelled to share my vision for its logo evolution. The current logo, a relic of the Xbox 360 era, seemed outdated for the new era. Therefore, I decided to incorporate elements from both the original logo design and that of Windows. This fusion symbolizes the fact that any Windows device can be an Xbox.

I’m sure many designers would agree that the Gatorade logo could use an update. I decided to give it a fresh, modern redesign, transforming it from a simple “G” with a sticker into a sleek lightning bolt that forms the “G” itself. What do you think?

AHC logo. The vision was to create something that speaks to the core of what American Home Core stands for. The 'A' is more than a letter; it's a stable roof, a symbol of shelter and security. The Pasion Blue isn't just a pop of color; it's the door of opportunity, representing the chance for a fresh start and a brighter future that AHC provides. It’s about building homes and futures.

I'm getting more into creating YouTube thumbnails, and I really enjoy it. This one was for a gameplay video of a 2D zero-gravity game where you solve problems to repair a space station. The thumbnail that won the A/B testing featured an AI-assisted and Blender 3D models to design the "worst-case scenario." If you have a sharp eye, you might notice the Esperanto flag, as this thumbnail is for an Esperanto channel.

Here’s a fun redesign for the Blender Discord. The purpose of this redesign is twofold: first, to further emphasize that this is not an official Discord server, but rather a community-run one. Second, to give it a more chat-like and software-like feel, while still retaining the blender icon and get influenced by the Discord blurple color and the shape language of the software the Discord server is for.

MAJIK is luxury makeup for the Gothic, shadowed, and arcane. It channels inner darkness with obsidian blacks, bruised purples, and blood-rich reds that seep into skin. Not for daylight; this is pigment for rituals and midnight.
The packaging I designed is meant to feel like something otherworldly, an ancient tome. The exterior is matte black, soft and absorbing. At the center sits my original MAJIK logo mark, glossed into the surface and sealed with a thin iridescent film. The mark itself is reflective, but the film bends the light, flashing a range of color, providing a MAJIK look, depending on how it catches the light.

Here’s a luxury apparel brand logo for Divinity, meticulously designed to embody the profound concept of time in all its elegance and ephemerality. I incorporated a stylized V to symbolize the converging hands of a clock, evoking the relentless passage of moments and reflecting the fleeting nature of life that urges us to cherish every instant. The brand itself is dedicated to transcending mere fashion, aiming to bring unparalleled comfort and joy through thoughtfully crafted products that promote happiness, well-being, and a deeper sense of fulfillment in the wearer's daily journey.

Barcode is a bar and restaurant that features a convenient Grab, Scan, and Pay system. The logo represents the scanning process and its technological approach while also functioning as an actual barcode for added enjoyment. The brand is simple, featuring a black-on-white design and a welcoming font.

In my experience of exploring various freelancing sites, I ended up on a contest hire site (which I strongly don't recommend). The client was looking for a mascot, a Language Llama, for learning French. This was my submission that won 2nd place 🏆

Here’s a fun, adorable character I created for a YouTube channel brand I started some time ago. The channel had a relaxed vibe, featuring general reviews of gadgets, food, and toys, a chill spot to hang out. It was named Hamster Banana, inspired by a hamster who loved bananas and co-hosted the show.

Here's another fun project I worked on: a fictional stray pet assist service where people can take photos and mark locations of found pets, or if they're inclined to take the stray in, they can post that they've found a pet. There are approximately 10 million pets that go missing in the US each year, and this app seeks to help reunite those pets with their owners faster.
The logo itself is a waypoint marker like those we often see on map systems but combining the shapes of common household pets: a dog and a cat. With warm yellow and red coloring, giving a sense of urgency and alert.

As a fan of The Flash, I reimagined Mercury Labs' logo. The original had issues: a light font lost clarity at small scales, an unbalanced winged sandal icon, and haphazard spacing.
My redesign aimed for a modern look like Johnson & Johnson, keeping the winged sandals inspired by Mercury, with wings flowing from the "Y" in a bold typeface for a cohesive mark.
This early practice piece fits the DC universe and real-world branding. Feedback welcome.
