Design
Showcasing work where ideas are sharpened through typography, layout, and visual systems—proving that great design isn’t decoration, but part of the thinking.
Sometimes the hardest thing to brand is yourself. What started as a long-overdue attempt to rethink my own dusty website quietly turned into something bigger. I didn’t want another portfolio built around a name—I wanted one built around a point of view.
Whatever’s Clever emerged from a phrase I’d been using casually for years, and it immediately felt right: flexible, playful, and unapologetically idea-first.
The project evolved into a year-long experiment with a simple constraint: create one new “whatever” each week, all tied to the lyrics of a single song that would become the backbone of the reel. Each piece was brought to life through custom animation, directed using advanced AI tools.
By combining frame-based direction, prompt engineering, and camera motion control (and testing, tweaking, and refining each piece until it felt right), every design developed its own movement and personality. The process sharpened my typography, expanded how I think about motion, and pushed my creative practice forward—where craft, curiosity, and emerging technology work together.
