Pop Desk Mats (PDM) is a personal project with a simple mission: banish boring desks. The idea started when my search for a new desk mat didn’t deliver anything that felt right — so I designed my own. One thing led to another, and that single design grew into a full store featuring artwork I love (and hope others do too). I’ve always believed that a great work or gaming desk mat can spark inspiration, elevate mood, and boost productivity while looking awesome.

PopDeskMats.com became the natural extension of that philosophy: a complete brand and product experience built entirely from the ground up.

I developed a bold, art-driven identity that puts illustration and texture at the forefront. Each desk mat is designed to function as a daily piece of art—clean enough for professional spaces, expressive enough for personal setups. The aesthetic blends minimal foundations with high-impact color, layered details, and playful visual energy.

Every design was illustrated and prepared for large-format print (at least 200dpi), optimized for 36×18" mats. The artwork focuses on bold geometry, textures, abstract forms, and colorful pieces that resonate with gamers, designers, students and those who have the pleasure of working from home.

I designed and built the entire site end-to-end, including:

Information architecture & UX flows

Responsive UI design

Micro-interactions and motion

Full WooCommerce setup and template customization

Checkout optimization, performance improvements, and SEO foundations

The result is a easy to navigate, visual-first storefront that aligns with the brand’s art-first focus.
