Side Projects

Ongoing

In order to keep creative juices flowing, I tend to take on design challenges and randomized product prompts that I later post on Dribbble platform.

Some of those were featured throughout design related media and platforms such as Medium, Justinmind, Muzli Inspiration, Icons8, to name a few. On instagram chosen projects were featured by UX / UI related accounts with combined audience of almost 200k.
