Visual design explorations.

Welcome to my visual playground: illustration, colour studies, content, and experiments that do not need a business case to be worth making.

Some of these are tidy collections. Some are one-off doodles. All of them are part of how I keep learning—and how I remember that design can still be playful.

Fruit, fruit, fruit :)

A collection of fruity illustrations—and an excuse to keep returning to simple shapes, loud colour, and a recurring watermelon obsession.

These began as quick shape studies. Pears, avocados, lemons, and watermelons became a small visual language I could keep remixing.

Doodling

A collection of doodles made in Procreate: portraits, visual jokes, imagined worlds, and whatever helped me learn a new brush that day.

There is no polished design brief here. The point is to try a style, follow an odd idea, and keep the fun part of making close by.

Flat design rocks!

Simple flat-design explorations made in Adobe Illustrator, built from geometry before I knew how useful that discipline would become in product work.

The constraints are the interesting bit: a small palette, a few shapes, and just enough detail to make a place feel inhabited.

Summer wallpapers

A collection of summer-inspired phone wallpapers: citrus, fruit, and colour made simply because I wanted them to exist on my own screen.

They sit somewhere between illustration and pattern design—small compositions that still need rhythm, contrast, and a good crop.

YouTube is part of the playground too.

Tutorials, career conversations, portfolio advice, and a public record of what I'm learning as a designer and founder.
