In between projects, I actively pursue upskilling opportunities to refine and expand my design skillset. Some areas that I love to explore include:

  • Reactive Component Creation: Building dynamic and interactive UI elements that enhance user experience.

  • Designing for Immersion: Building websites that foster a fully engaging user experience.

  • Crafting Engaging Animations: Creating captivating visual animations that bring interfaces to life.

  • Game Design Exploration: Developing innovative and immersive game concepts.

Reactive Component Design

By recreating a series of animated components inspired by various creative designers, I gained a deeper understanding of design systems and their core principles. This exploration allowed me to hone my skills in motion design principles and animation techniques. The result is a collection of interactive and visually engaging UI components that elevate the user experience by adding dynamism and life to interfaces.

Website Designs

Driven by curiosity and a passion for innovative design, I embarked on an experimental journey within Figma's capabilities. While exploring the platform's features, I stumbled upon the potential for 3D object rotation, a technique that instantly captivated my attention. I envisioned the transformative impact this could have on user experiences.

To showcase the power of 3D object rotation, I decided to create a conceptual website for a drinks brand. This project served as a canvas to experiment with how 3D elements could enhance user engagement, add depth to visual storytelling, and provide a unique and memorable experience.

Another project that I wanted to explore is the transformative power of animation within UX design. By strategically combining Figma for UI design and Dora.run for integrated animated models, I created a website that transcends static layouts and embraces fluid motion. This exploration showcased the potential of animation to:

  • Enhance User Engagement: Captivating animations grab user attention, improve information retention, and make interactions more enjoyable.

  • Elevate Brand Storytelling: Animations can weave narratives and create emotional connections with users, strengthening brand identity.

  • Simplify Complex Interactions: Animated transitions can guide users through intricate processes intuitively and efficiently.

This project served as a valuable exploration of how animation can elevate UX design, resulting in a website that is not only functional but also visually dynamic and engaging.

Game Design & Animation

This project involved recreating a short animation scene from one of my favorite Marvel films, all within a one-hour timeframe. The challenge pushed me to rapidly ideate, source visual elements, and adapt them for animation. I then prototyped the components, showcasing my ability to work efficiently under time constraints.

Inspired by the ingenuity of creating games within Figma, I embarked on a project to recreate the classic Flappy Bird. By following a YouTube tutorial and applying my design skills, I successfully developed a playable game concept within Figma. This project demonstrates the versatility of Figma and the potential for creative exploration within the platform.
