Meridial — Wealth Management Platform For Meridial, I designed a system where the one thing that matters — portfolio drift — always surfaces first, no matter how many clients an advisor is tracking. Signal over noise, even at 200+ portfolios. ⚪ The challenge: Advisors managing dozens of portfolios need to instantly spot what's drifted from target — without digging through spreadsheets or noisy dashboards that bury the signal in data. A dark, grain-textured UI gives Meridial a private-banking feel instead of typical fintech blue. The landing page proves the product directly in the hero with live allocation and drift cards, while the dashboard extends the same card system into radar charts, composition breakdowns, and a weekly digest — built so advisors can scan hundreds of portfolios at a glance. A case in making complex portfolio data resolve into one clear signal.

The Design Oracle is Live ✨ | Squarespace Make It Real Challenge Ever wondered if that "final_FINAL_v4" file is actually the last one? Or if the client will ask to make the logo just a little bit bigger? Let the cards decide. 🔮 I’m thrilled to unveil The Design Oracle (or Design Arcana)—an interactive, mystical tarot experience created specifically for freelancers and designers to reveal the fate of their current projects. This is my official submission for the Squarespace Make It Real Challenge. My goal was to completely break away from standard grid layouts and see how far I could push the creative boundaries using the new Finish Layer tools. Here is how the magic works behind the scenes (without a single line of custom code): Z-Axis & Overlapping: Used Fluid Engine to scatter the cards and floating stickers across the canvas, creating depth and a true "spread" feel. Hover Reveals: Leveraged native image swap effects so users can organically "draw" a card just by exploring the screen. Mobile Overrides: Rebuilt the entire chaotic desktop spread into a sleek, functional vertical stack for perfect mobile UX. After over a decade in UI/UX and brand design, I still believe the best projects start with pure creativity before locking into rigid systems. This was incredibly fun to build. Will you pull "The Golden Client" or "The Wheel of Feedback"? Take a deep breath, align your pixels, and draw your card here: https://round-herring-m73p.squarespace.

Terra — AI Environmental Risk Platform Designed the landing page and product UI for Terra — a platform that helps land developers and engineering teams see environmental risk (soil stability, tree canopy loss, water table depth) before breaking ground. The challenge: Development decisions are usually based on estimates, not real ground data — and by the time issues show up, it’s often too late to reverse them. The interface needed to make complex sensor/AI data feel immediate and trustworthy, without losing emotional weight. The solution: Raw, organic photography (wildflowers, grass, natural terrain) paired with clean glass-panel data cards — creating a visual tension between “nature” and “precision engineering.” Bold editorial typography carries the emotional message, while translucent metric cards surface real numbers: soil stability, canopy loss %, water table depth. A strong example of turning dense environmental data into something a non-technical stakeholder can understand in seconds.

Architect of Chaos: Branding Cobalt Analytics for the Envato Challenge AI has completely changed the creative landscape, but it hasn’t changed what makes a digital product functional. For the Envato Challenge, I set out to design the brand identity and UI concept for a B2B SaaS platform, Cobalt Analytics. The goal was to show the crucial difference between machine generation and human curation. The Insight: The Azulejo Metaphor  Data analytics is often visually represented by clichéd glowing nodes and neon webs. I wanted a metaphor with history. I turned to Azulejo — traditional Portuguese ceramic tiles. Historically, the art of Azulejo was about taking thousands of fragmented, independent tiles and assembling them into one grand, coherent narrative. This is exactly what a predictive data platform does: it turns chaotic metrics into a clear system. The Process: AI as the Miner, Human as the Filter  I started by feeding AI historical references of Azulejo tiles. The result? Absolutely stunning, yet completely unusable visual noise. AI generated beautiful chaos, but as a designer, I know that algorithms don't understand scalability, negative space, or modular grids. The Extraction: I rejected 95% of the AI generations, extracting just one perfect geometric silhouette hidden in the noise. The Clean-Up: I moved to Envato Elements to source mathematically perfect vector shapes and rebuilt the AI's concept into a clean, scalable brand mark. The System (Figma): I established a strict modular Bento-grid, paired the complex geometry with a brutalist sans-serif typography, and built out the core UI dashboard widgets in Figma. The Execution (Zero Photoshop): To bring the brand into the real world, I utilized Envato’s native mockup generator. I applied my designs directly to premium physical and digital mockups right inside Envato's browser tool—no Photoshop required. A completely streamlined, modern workflow. The Result: Cobalt Analytics.  A brand identity that is mathematically precise, highly scalable, and ready for development. AI generated the noise, but human judgment built the system. And for the brave souls, here is the link to the full Figma file. Fair warning: it’s a typical creative mess inside, you know how it is 😅 https://www.figma.com/design/5Du5Sjr7jCCZYNgH5Y9QtB/Envato-Challenge?node-id=17-2181&t=vap8tOu6fACNieNW-1

XPlace — Crypto-Backed Visa Card Website design Designed the interface for XPlace — a platform that lets users borrow against their crypto holdings and spend through a Visa card, without selling assets or triggering taxable events. The challenge: Create a product that feels both trustworthy and premium — avoiding the typical "startup" look, and steering clear of the neon/gradient clichés so common in crypto design. The solution: A dark, cinematic mood built around a monochrome landscape backdrop, bold expressive typography, and a metallic Visa Platinum card as the central visual anchor. Minimal elements, maximum focus on one action: get the card. What's in the interface: — Full-bleed hero section with an atmospheric background — Large-scale headline that communicates value in seconds — 3D card render as a trust-building element — Transparent glass-effect header Built in Framer — this isn't just the landing page, there are several more screens and flows I'll share case study separately 👀

Welcome to Voxai, a landing page concept for a no-code AI voice agent platform. Most B2B SaaS platforms look a bit like spreadsheets with a fresh coat of paint—cold, technical, and honestly, a little intimidating. When designing for AI, the default is usually dark mode with glowing blue nodes. The challenge here was to completely break away from that cliché and design a tech tool that doesn't feel like you're talking to a robot. To solve this, I played with heavy contrast. Instead of a dense dashboard full of features, I used a clean split-screen layout. The left side is all business: sharp typography, social proof, and clear CTAs. But the real UX magic happens on the right. I layered a soft, glassmorphic chat interface over a highly organic, floral background. Instead of forcing users to read long paragraphs about "natural language processing," they instantly see a warm, humanized interface transcribing a conversation in real-time. It visually communicates that this AI is natural, approachable, and easy to use. It's all about making complex enterprise tech feel simple and human!

PUFFHS: Artisanal Pastry Landing Page Concept  Welcome to PUFFHS, a conceptual landing page designed for a premium artisanal bakery specializing in gourmet cream puffs. This project reimagines how we browse and buy high-end digital food products. Most food e-commerce platforms and delivery apps rely on static, uninspiring grid layouts that fail to capture the true tactile appeal of the product. The challenge was to break away from standard UI patterns and create a digital shopping experience that is as mouth-watering and engaging as the pastries themselves, all while keeping complex dietary information accessible To solve this, I experimented with a highly interactive, motion-driven approach. The core UX innovation is the "Reveal the Puff" mechanic. Instead of forcing users to read long paragraphs about the ingredients, I designed a seamless micro-interaction that allows them to virtually "slice" the dessert with a single click, instantly revealing the rich filling and texture.

Here’s my take on what the website for a Product Hunt 'Product of the Day' should look like today. Honestly, the actual PH feed has felt a bit sad lately—it seems like 99% of the winning products are just AI tools generated by Claude. I wanted to design something that actually stands out and brings quality aesthetics back to the top spots. 🫠 What do you think of this concept?

Always down for a fresh UI experiment! 🎨✨ Just finished up this new concept: FAME.X — a platform designed for investing in digital talent and creators. For the visual direction, I wanted something bold, energetic, and slightly futuristic. To pull that off, I went heavy on high-contrast, grainy gradients mixed with massive, striking typography and sleek glassmorphism cards. It gives the whole platform that trendy, high-value feel. 🔥 I’m an absolute sucker for testing out new design tools, and when they are built by awesome people, it’s an ultimate ccccombo. 💥 To get these incredibly juicy gradients, I used a brand-new tool created by Leo. I’ve been playing around with it, and it’s honestly just pure joy to use. Plus, it’s completely free. If you want to level up your gradient game, you absolutely have to try it out: https://www.gradientool.com/

Tesla Mobile App — Premium EV Charging A high-end, dark-themed mobile application concept designed for Tesla owners to manage charging sessions, monitor vehicle health, and navigate to the nearest Supercharger with precision. This UI focuses on real-time data visualization and a seamless "glanceable" experience. Managing an EV often involves juggling complex data—kilowatt speeds, fluctuating costs, and battery degradation—which can feel overwhelming for the average user. Most automotive apps suffer from cluttered dashboards that make it difficult to find critical information while on the go. By utilizing a high-contrast dark mode and minimalist typography, we prioritized visual hierarchy. The charging screen uses massive 74% progress indicators for immediate recognition. We implemented custom-designed gauges for "Charge Remaining" and "Est. Range" to mimic professional telemetry, while the map interface simplifies route planning with a clean, low-poly aesthetic to reduce cognitive load during navigation. Real-time Charging Analytics: Live tracking of time-to-full, charge speed (kW), and accumulated cost. Predictive Range Gaging: A refined dashboard showing battery health and estimated distance. Smart Supercharger Map: Dark-themed maps featuring stall availability (4/8) and distance tracking. Premium Interactive HUD: Custom-designed icons and buttons with haptic-ready visual feedback. Sophisticated Dark UI: Optimized for OLED displays to save battery and provide a luxury aesthetic. This project showcases the intersection of automotive UI and luxury branding. By focusing on user-centric navigationand clean data visualization, we’ve created a smart mobility solution that feels as premium as the car itself. This Tesla app redesign highlights the future of EV dashboard design and mobile app development for high-performance vehicles.

MÉL THE SEAL — Remote Work Solutions for Tired Creative People Meet Mel: a sleepy harbor seal built from lavender raff, client revisions, lofi beats, low battery mode, and tiny wins. What started as a small painting of a seal with cosmic eyes became a full mascot-led brand world. I developed Mel’s personality, origin story, visual identity, comic series, emotional language, packaging, merch, stickers, social content, and a card game for freelancers surviving the workday. The goal was to create more than a cute mascot. Mel needed to feel like the same character everywhere: in a comic panel, on a coffee cup, inside a sticker pack, on a hoodie, and in a tiny animated moment of client-revision panic. Built with Recraft Studio: Character exploration, reference-image workflows, V4.1 Vector identity studies, packaging and merchandise applications, social assets, storyboards, and image-to-video experiments. Always tired. Often late. Still shows up. Full Case Study: https://www.recraft.ai/project/2a11d3ab-1851-4c5e-b259-3e3a54b46633 My loom is in the comments.

SaaS UI Illustration Course Landing Page In an era dominated by generic AI generation, the true competitive edge for UI/UX designers lies in bespoke craftsmanship. This landing page design showcases an intensive masterclass dedicated to creating high-end, structured vector illustrations and 3D-style assets specifically for the modern SaaS ecosystem. The Challenge  Most designers struggle to bridge the gap between flat UI and immersive storytelling. The goal was to design a high-conversion landing page that reflects the "I See the World Differently" philosophy—moving away from automated prompts toward intentional, grid-based visual logic that enhances the user experience. The Solution  The interface utilizes a sophisticated dark mode aesthetic combined with a modular bento-gridlayout to organize complex course modules. By implementing glassmorphism and strategic neon accents, the design directs the user's eye toward the curriculum while maintaining a premium, tech-forward atmosphere. Every element was built natively in Figma to demonstrate the power of professional design tools over prompt-based shortcuts.

Bloom is a conceptual premium plant care application designed to transform daily botanical maintenance from a stressful chore into a calming, mindful experience. This project showcases a sleek mobile interface and a landing page concept that highlights the app's core value propositions through minimalist, high-end design. Plant owners frequently struggle to keep track of varying watering schedules, humidity needs, and care routines, often resulting in what we call "plant parent guilt." Existing solutions in the market tend to be cluttered, overly technical, and visually overwhelming, adding to the stress rather than alleviating it. I approached Bloom with a focus on high-end minimalism and intuitive tracking. The goal was to strip away the noise and create an interface that feels like a "living gallery." The resulting design establishes a premium brand feel that stands out in the crowded utility app market. By prioritizing a clean, stress-free user experience, Bloom proves that functional apps can also be visually stunning and emotionally resonant.

The Smart Shoulder Drone for Motorcycle Passengers After over 100,000 kilometers traveling as a passenger on a heavy Harley-Davidson, I desperately wanted a way to capture the journey without sacrificing safety or the sheer joy of the ride. Holding a phone or a heavy camera at highway speeds is dangerous and exhausting. It’s a compact, magnetic shoulder-mounted drone controlled by a smart leather glove with an embedded micro-OLED screen. My Melius Workflow:  I utilized the Melius agent not just to prompt, but to architect a complete production studio on the canvas. Stage 1: Hardware Lock (The Source of Truth). I briefed the agent to generate studio-quality master shots of the drone and the smart glove. I then instructed the agent to hard-wire these specific nodes as global visual references (Image-to-Image/ControlNet) for the rest of the canvas to prevent the model from hallucinating new designs. Stage 2: Storyboarding. The agent built a storyboard branch, placing the locked product designs into realistic environments (highway, golden hour) using precise text nodes to establish the narrative. Stage 3 & 4: Commercial & UGC Video Pipelines. I tasked the agent to build complex Image-to-Video branches. For the promo video, the agent generated sequential keyframes (First, Mid, Last) showing UI interactions and mechanical sliding, which were then routed into video nodes. For the UGC branch, the agent completely shifted the aesthetic to raw, vertical smartphone footage while maintaining the exact hardware design. Stage 5: Assembly. Text nodes were used as a director's script on the canvas to dictate the exact sound design and features (USPs) being highlighted before final video generation. Feedback: As a UI/UX designer, the node-based canvas feels incredibly intuitive. Generative AI usually feels like a chaotic slot machine, but Melius turns it into a structured, production-ready pipeline. The ability to converse with the agent, ask it to build branches based on specific logic, and literally see the "wires" connecting a master reference to a final video output gives an unprecedented level of creative control. It allowed me to act as an Art Director rather than just a prompt engineer. Project flow: https://app.melius.com/projects/b3edd6cc-ec50-49fa-b861-80fbe443ef97/canvas/2aefaa54-3d08-4265-b21b-83233c694be2 X Post: https://x.com/KrisAnfalova/status/2056718110682489214?s=20 Travel more and ride safely!

Most "cheap" UI looks messy because designers are afraid of empty space. Negative space isn't "missing content." It's the frame that makes your product look like a luxury brand. 🤌 I applied this exact philosophy to Axiom—a cloud observability platform. Usually, complex B2B SaaS looks like an airplane cockpit because teams try to cram data into every single pixel. But for Axiom, we gave the heavy tech room to breathe: a massive split-screen layout, confident typography, and zero clutter. The result? An enterprise tool that doesn't intimidate, but immediately sells premium, senior expertise.

Customer support teams often get buried in repetitive tickets, slow handoffs, and unpredictable workloads — which hurts response time and customer trust. For Auron, the goal was to show an AI agent as a reliable, scalable co-pilot for support, not a “mystery black box.” Design solution: Built a calm, premium SaaS landing page with a deep-space dark theme to signal technology + reliability. Focused the hero on one clear promise: an AI agent that improves speed and quality of service. Added a subtle feature orbit to visually explain capabilities at a glance (automation, routing, insights, security). Kept layout minimal and conversion-oriented: strong hierarchy, soft glow accents, and a single primary CTA path. The result is a landing concept that feels modern, trustworthy, and easy to scan for founders and product teams looking to upgrade customer service with AI.

Kumo — Interactive Matcha Tea Landing Page UI-UX Choosing a drink online is often a flat and boring experience — static product cards don’t convey taste, freshness, or emotion. For a premium product like matcha, this makes it harder to stand out and convert. This animated landing page for Kumo turns product selection into an interactive and sensory experience. Instead of reading long descriptions, users visually explore flavors through motion, ingredients, and composition.

11k followers, beautiful pastries, and 4.5 hours wasted in DMs daily. Here is how I fixed a local bakery's operations in 3 hours. 🥐✨ For the #GiveItAGlow challenge, I wanted to find a business where design could solve a real operational bottleneck. I chose "Holidays treat" — a visually stunning local bakery in Thailand. The Problem:  Visually, their brand is flawless. Digitally, it was a nightmare. Every single custom cake order, tart reservation, and FAQ was handled manually through Instagram DMs. The owner was losing over 4.5 hours a day just typing out the same allergen information and stock updates. The Process (How it was built):  Using Base44, I went from a blank canvas to a fully functioning digital ecosystem in exactly 3 hours. Here is the exact breakdown of the build: Phase 1: The Figma Benchmark & Asset Generation  Every high-end product starts with strict visual discipline. Before touching the builder, I opened Figma to define the rules of "quiet luxury" for this brand. I established a rigorous grid, editorial typography, and terracotta accents. I used Midjourney to generate high-end asset concepts to set the perfect mood. I didn't design every screen—I designed one flawless Root Index to serve as my absolute source of truth. Phase 2: Architectural Foundation  Inside Base44, I prioritized architecture over aesthetics. My initial prompts focused purely on database generation and routing. Within minutes, the AI spun up the core infrastructure: a Products database, an Orders table, and dynamic routing for the entire B2C catalog. Phase 3: The Design Translation  This is where I am usually skeptical of builders, but Base44 delivered. I fed my Figma benchmark into the Base44 agent and instructed it to overwrite the global design system. It adopted my strict visual parameters and replicated them across the entire app with 100% accuracy. When we hit minor component bugs, like routing issues in the Global Header, I used precise system directives to re-bind the events without touching the code. Phase 4: Automation Depth & State Management  A beautiful site means nothing if the business operations are still manual. The Backend:  I built a B2B Kitchen Dashboard with a live Kanban board tied directly to the front-end checkout. The CMS:  I converted static footer galleries into dynamic databases so the owners can update their digital storefront seamlessly. The Superagent:  I integrated a 24/7 AI Superagent and wired it directly to the live inventory database. It now handles all FAQs, consults on bespoke cakes, and routes users to checkout. To ensure a seamless UX, I prompted the system to utilize a Global Session State, ensuring cart persistence across all page navigations. The Verdict on Base44:  As a UI/UX Designer who is fiercely protective of visual layouts, my stack has strictly been Figma and Framer. But building this project completely shifted my perspective. Base44 is the first platform I’ve used that handles deep backend logic and AI automations without sacrificing an inch of front-end aesthetic control. It is officially part of my permanent freelance toolkit. The Handoff:  I handed the fully live ecosystem over to the bakery—no setup fees, no friction. Just real utility.

SaaS Landing Page UI/UX: AI Customer Support & Automation To break away from typical, sterile corporate SaaS designs, we implemented an airy, nature-inspired visual direction. By combining organic 3D elements (skies, rocks, grass) with clean, floating glassmorphic UI components, the design translates a sense of calm, clarity, and control. The elegant serif typography used for headlines adds a layer of trust and premium quality, while the minimalist bento-box navigation keeps the user journey intuitive.

The secret to "expensive" UI design isn't more graphics; it's less text. The best tech landing pages use under small number words in their hero section. They just confirm you're in the right place. Minimalist UX always wins the conversion game.

A little creative collab between me and the machines happened today. 🦾 Generated the core atmosphere using Hailuo, Midjourney, and Nano Banana. Then did what I do best: pulled the chaos into Figma, stripped away the noise, set a rigid grid, and animated it in Jitter. Really happy with how clean and tactile this organic beverage concept turned out. Live on Dribbble now
