Crafting High-Conversion UI/UX for Wellness & AI Platforms
Title:
Salish Radial UI — Modern Smartwatch System & Vector Identity
Description:
For the Recraft Design Challenge on Contra, I built a cohesive digital visual system rooted in historical radial geometry rather than generic prompts. My foundation started in open-access museum archives, curating high-resolution public domain spindle whorls featuring 360-degree radial symmetry.
Using these circular geometric artifacts, I trained a custom Recraft V4 Style to learn the underlying logic of line weight, concentric rings, and central-axis balance. Through precise prompting, I stripped away heavy wood textures to deliver a high-contrast dark slate UI (#0F172A) highlighted by vivid cyan and orange vector line art.
Deliverables Included in Submission:
Primary Smartwatch UI Dial SVG: Full circular smartwatch watch face featuring a saw-tooth outer bezel, clean digital typography (10:10, Monday, 85%), and four mirrored crescent whorls framing core complications.
Secondary Watch Dial Variant SVG: A streamlined, high-contrast watch face variant optimized for daily wear and quick timekeeping readability.
App Icon Emblem SVG: A bold, scalloped vector emblem icon built for mobile app launchers.
Companion Logo Mark SVG: A minimal, high-contrast circular logo mark designed for scalable digital brand identity.

Case Study: Decibel 12 (db12fans.com (http://db12fans.com))
Building the Ultimate Digital Home for Seattle Seahawks Fan Culture
Executive Summary
Decibel 12 is an independent, high-performance web platform designed specifically for Seattle Seahawks supporters ("12s"). Built to bridge the gap between stadium energy, community identity, and modern interactive web features, the platform combines real-time game-day tracking, interactive AI score predictions, custom Coast Salish-inspired superfan character branding, and community-driven content vaults.
The Challenge
Seattle Seahawks fans are globally recognized for setting world-record decibel levels, yet fan engagement tools are often fragmented across generic social media platforms, temporary group chats, and outdated forums.
The primary objectives for Decibel 12 were:
Establish an Authentic Digital Identity: Root the design language in authentic Pacific Northwest and Coast Salish artistic geometry rather than generic sports templates.
Streamline Game-Day Utility: Create a centralized hub for local watch spots, tailgate directories, and live countdowns ahead of the season opener.
Engage Community-Driven Content: Build secure, moderated photo vaults and interactive recognition systems (Fan & Pet of the Week, Hall of Fame) without relying on cluttered ad networks.
Deliver Fast, Frictionless Auth: Implement seamless passwordless authentication (Magic Links) that feel modern and trustworthy.
Key Features & Platform Architecture
1. Game Day Hub & Countdown Engine

2. 12s Game Day Photo Vault & Moderation

Tech: Client-side NSFWJS filtering (TensorFlow.js) for automated pre-upload image moderation, backed by Supabase Storage and dynamic likes counter triggers.
3. Fan Authorities & Hall of Fame
