Bauhaus in motion… — I’m on a journey to up my 3D game so I came up with this scene, simulated the keycaps and rendered out this animation in Blender. A lot of art direction was involved to manipulate the simulation to ensure the G key would be consistently visible throughout the animation.

Personal website (v3) — Working on a new version of my personal website, on which I will make more space for my writing. Currently trialing Martina Plantijn and Söhne, two typefaces by Klim Type Foundry. Leaning towards keeping the former, but changing the latter. It's going to be a while before this is out.
Graphite Logo Exploration — An open-source and free design software made by very passionate volunteers. For this #logo , I wanted to nod to Graphite’s roots. The current logo features a pencil, which is a big favorite among the folks who contribute to the software. So, I made sure to keep that iconic pencil in my design by giving it a little twist. By playing with negative space, I not only kept the pencil but also introduced a node, which is a key part of Graphite’s features.
Huis van het Boek logo — In The Hague, you'll find a hidden gem for book enthusiasts: 'Huis van het Boek,' which translates to 'House of the Book.' The brand has been distilled to its core resulting in a self-explanatory logo that has given it a fitting, contemporary appearance.

Working on kitting for a new keycap set — With Gestalt production finish I am working on my next keycap set, inspired by vintage photography and vintage photography lens hence the name Aperture Priority. This set was designed in Figma and I created a custom legends based on a monotype technical typeface. I also included familiar photography UI elements as novelty keycaps. #3d #mechanicalkeyboard

Akuko Labs Deskmat Packaging — Plain cardboard boxes are cheaper to produce, costing nearly half as much as fully printed boxes. I also find them more elegant, especially with white ink accents. Win-win. Designed in Figma, rendered in Blender.
Drag-and-drop interaction for document archival — Quick mockup I made in Figma to get the idea out of my head. No project in mind. Just for fun. :)
