AQTIF

The AI Social Fitness Engine2026
AQTIF is a fitness AI assistant built around a simple idea: less control panels, more intelligence. I designed the system to feel alive — continuously learning from the user’s habits and adapting in real time. Instead of overwhelming settings, AQTIF delivers a daily flow of personalized widgets, insights, and micro‑suggestions that evolve with the user’s goals.

Smart Watch Face

Interface & Motion2026
Always wanted to work on a smart watch interface. This was my first chance to design for one. I ended up building the kind of watch face I always wanted to use myself. Minimal. Smooth. Responsive.

Berceba

Photographer Portfolio2025
A minimalist photographer's portfolio elevated through immersive digital design. 3D spatial transitions serve as the foundation for content flow, complemented by soft, content-aware background blurs. The interface responds to cursor behavior with subtle microinteractions, creating a tactile sense of control. The result is a clean, focused presentation wrapped in smooth motion design. Built for both beauty and control, the entire experience is fully editable via Sanity CMS, empowering the photographer to curate their narrative as seamlessly as the site performs.

NOIIBU

Fashion E‑Commerce2022
This fashion startup required assistance in kickstarting the development of their project. They shared static design mockups, on which I built captivating animated prototypes. Moreover, I offered my expertise in refreshing and designing new layouts that the client had expressed concerns about. After engaging in extensive discussions, I crafted a suite of reusable, dynamic React components, which I showcased through a demo project. This diligent effort culminated in the creation of a visually stunning and a flawlessly fashionable user interface that unite in creating a truly extraordinary experience.

Valerion

Premium Projector Brand2025
Full creative direction behind a startup’s transition from early prototype to a globally recognized consumer brand. I defined the brand’s positioning and visual language, built a modular identity system, and established a scalable workflow powered by AI‑assisted production and a custom 3D visualization pipeline. The project included product renders, promotional campaigns, trade‑show content, crowdfunding storytelling, and a conversion‑focused website.
