My Creative Work

It's been too long since I last updated my website and my Now page. A lot had happened during the last year, and 2025 has found me fully inspired, motivated, and with a wide path of exciting prospects ahead, to say the least. I’ve also finally found the opportunity to update my work with a few new projects, so make sure to check them out.

On my work side, I'm currently immersed in several exciting projects for my existing clients, focusing on advanced UI and design systems for apps and games. This evolution in my work has allowed me to delve into more complex and thoughtfully crafted designs, collaborating with large, dynamic teams. My role continues to encompass creative and art direction, where I contribute handcrafted artistic assets and provide strategic branding and marketing insights. Embracing the rise of AI technologies, I've integrated tools like MidJourney, Adobe Firefly, ChatGPT, and Stable Diffusion into my creative process. These tools have become invaluable in enhancing the quality and efficiency of my work, aligning with my belief that AI serves as a complement to a creative's toolkit.

My Fantasy Series

After a year-long hiatus, I'm excited to report significant progress on my fantasy series, The Rive Hunter. I'm now 50% through developing a comprehensive high-level outline for the entire series. Collaborating with like-minded individuals has been instrumental in fine-tuning the plot and lore, reigniting my passion for this project. It's exhilarating to see the story take shape into something I'd love to read—or perhaps even watch—someday.

Stay tuned on my personal instagram channel for regular updates or on my series channel.

What's Been Inspiring Me Lately

I've been diving deeper into Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive. After being blown away by The Way of Kings, I’m now fully immersed in Words of Radiance. In my limited free time, I’m making slow but steady progress through other diverse fantasy series, drawing inspiration from many authors along the way.

Lately, with the lack of quality new shows or movies, I’ve found myself revisiting my classic favorites for a relaxing and inspiring boost: The Lord of the Rings, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, Batman Returns, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mad Max: Fury Road, and re-watching series like Arcane Season 1 (though Season 2 didn't quite resonate with me), Game of Thrones, The Last Kingdom, and Castlevania. And of course, I’m planning a re-watch of Blue Eye Samurai, which, for me, was nothing short of a flawless execution in storytelling and inspiration.

Let’s hope the new year brings along some fresh inspiration—one can always hope.

"Till next time!"
