Designer who builds to think. Let's build something together.

My new Framer template is here: SOLVÉA.
A refined portfolio for creative studios, agencies, and independent designers, built with bold typography, thoughtful layouts, and motion that supports the work, never competes with it.
Made to give great work the space it deserves.
My first Framer template is here: KEY/01.
Built around a simple belief: less, but better.
A minimal and considered template with clean layouts, strong typography, purposeful interactions, and no unnecessary animations competing for attention.
Because motion should support the experience, not overwhelm it.
Designed for product launches, technology brands, and ambitious ideas that deserve clarity.
Less noise. More intention.
The most interesting design trend right now isn’t “AI design.”
It’s the reaction against it: tactile textures, imperfect typography, visible grain, unusual compositions and work that feels intentionally human.
Perfect is becoming forgettable.
Coming back to Framer after the most intentional break I’ve taken in 5 years, two full weeks, no phone, no noise, just recharging at the right time.
Now building my site. Launch coming soon 👀
🚀 Still building. Not much left before my website launches.
The Framer community has truly inspired me to take the leap. Grateful for the energy.
Here's one of my latest works 👇🏽
Currently building my own website and I've officially become the worst client I've ever had. Endless revision rounds, impossible standards, and feedback meetings with myself at 2am. I need to fire myself.
Figma keeps shipping features to catch up with Framer.
Framer keeps shipping features so they never can.
One tool reacts. The other defines.
I know which one I'm betting on 😉.
I feel the early hype around the Framer community is slowly fading.
And honestly? That's fine.
Time filters everything. Only the real ones stay. 🤝🏽
Didn't win 10k at the Agents Hackathon, but I learned this building my project:
→ Agents aren't a shortcut. They're a speed layer on top of your design decisions. If you don't know what you want, the agent doesn't either.
→ Branching is the most underrated thing in Framer 3.0. Let the agent work in an isolated branch, review every change, merge only when you're ready. That's real control.
→ The new Community isn't a forum. It's infrastructure. Feed, gallery, marketplace, contests, all inside the same tool where you design.

AI agents are getting scary good.
Claude Code, Codex...they write, refactor, ship. Faster than any human.
But here's what they still can't do:
• Have a weird idea at 2am.
• Question the brief.
• Feel that something is off before they can explain why.
Lateral thinking isn't a prompt. It's a perspective. Use the agents. But bring yourself to the table.
4 years ago, I designed my first surf forecast app.
A fully monochromatic experience, pure black and white. No color. No gradients. Just tide curves, wave heights, and the starkness of a dark interface built around something as raw as the ocean.
Looking back at it now, I'd change a lot. The hierarchy could be sharper. Some interactions feel naive. There are choices I'd never make today.
But that's exactly what design maturity looks like, not building perfect things from the start, but developing the eye to look at your own work honestly. To see what worked, what didn't, and why.
The good parts? The visual language still holds. Monochrome forced me to solve problems with space and weight alone. That constraint taught me more than any color palette could have.
Four years. Still learning. Still refining. That's the work.
Spent way too long picking between two headline options. Ended up with the simpler one. It's always the simpler one.
Designers will understand.
4 days in the @Framer community.
Tutorials teach you how. Community teaches you why. Watching others build in real time changes the way you think about your own work.
Framer's AI limits are doing us a favor. If you're spending more time prompting than designing, you're not a designer who uses AI, you're just a middleman.
Use the tool. Don't become it.
I really hope @Framer builds an app so we can access the community in a much simpler way. Using it from a browser never feels like a native app. 📱
