Projects
Working on the website renewal for Studio OKGO, a branding agency. As part of the project, I have developed and launched a "coming soon" page to notify visitors about the upcoming site. To emphasize the agency's newly rebranded 3D logo, I created a dynamic 3D animation and interactive elements. The logo is designed to visually represent the studio's name by incorporating the letters 'O' and 'K', which, when rotated, also reveal the letters 'G' and 'O'. This interaction allows users to experience the logo uniquely and engagingly, showcasing the creative concept behind the rebranding.

Built a mobile-first web game for an ice cream brand's promotion. Driven by curiosity about creative scenes, I proposed to a design agency to develop their website and became involved in the project. The brand, Kigo Ice Cream, sells ice cream from a van. After carefully considering how to creatively showcase the Kigo character, the van, and the ice cream, I planned and developed the game to be engaging and intuitive, ensuring it was accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages.
