For the #envatochallenge, I stepped out of my comfort zone to push my creative limits and create a cybernetic AR eyewear brand called KROME.
At first, I tried to generate the whole cinematic brand film in one go using a detailed prompt. However, that did not work and I quickly realized that AI could not understand the vision I had in mind.
So, I broke it down into micro-scenes and put it all together using CapCut.
What made it Human by Design is that AI provided the tools, but I provided the vision, curation, and pacing.

I’m incredibly proud to submit my project for the #GiveItAGlow challenge! I built a comprehensive digital ecosystem for Little Hollow Tattoos, a female-owned tattoo studio in Johannesburg, South Africa. I transformed their online presence from a static, basic Linktree that relied on chaotic social media messaging into a high-utility, fully responsive business application.
What I Built & Automated:
✓ A mobile-optimized custom web application featuring integrated portfolio galleries, studio policies, and client reviews to maximize business trust.
✓ A multi-step consultation and booking pipeline that captures design concepts, sizes, and placements upfront.
✓ An internal system equipped with live booking analytics, secure status management, calendar scheduling, and resident artist assignment tools.
✓ A dedicated Waitlist Manager to capture client details and WhatsApp contacts to quickly fill last-minute cancellation gaps.
✓ An intelligent AI assistant trained with localized South African greetings to handle studio FAQs 24/7.
Built from the ground up using Base44 to solve real administrative bottlenecks and give a local business something worth showing off!
