A Creative Playground

The Playground is where I let curiosity take the lead. It’s a space to explore ideas that don’t need a brief…just a spark. Whether I’m learning a new tool, testing visual styles, or chasing a half-formed thought, this is where I experiment without overthinking.

A lot of what you’ll see here connects to my newsletter, Not in the Brief : a behind-the-scenes look at how I work, play, and stay creatively unstuck.

This is my creative playground — a space for experiments, visual ideas, and works-in-progress that keep me learning, playing, and pushing forward.

Where curiosity leads the way

Building Sandbox

This is where I learn by building.

Sometimes that means vibe coding a cat checkers game in Figma Make. Sometimes it’s testing new tools like Replit or Lovable to create small, strange, satisfying things.

There’s no roadmap here, just curiosity and the urge to see what happens.

My first vibe coding experiment: Cat Checkers. Inspired by the folded cat papers I created of my two cats in 2015.

The best way to experiment is to make it personal.

Design Sandbox

I believe in playing more, creating more and leading with curiosity. These 3 are my perfect combination in staying motivated, inspired, and pushing through these ever changing times.

This section collects visual explorations where AI meets storytelling, motion, and mood. Think: surreal hotels inspired by national dishes, Jitter-made animations from MidJourney images, or short visual tests that push how I use new tools.

It’s meant to be quick to browse, but many of these link out to deeper process breakdowns or my newsletter, Not in the Brief.
