Been experimenting around with Cavalry App and I can't get enough of the endless possibilities it offers.
Concept design using ChatGPT.
It's remarkable how AI enhances concept design. While ChatGPT still has room for improvement in generating readable copy, it's already capable of understanding and producing impressive compositions.

Creative direction & brand design process for Cafecita Coffee
2years ago, one of my best friend reached out to me with an idea to start a women supporting, Women owned and woman produced coffee brand. I was thrilled to combine forces and be the creative brain and designer behind an idea I fully support. It’s already been 2years since the birth of Cafecita and it’s been growing ever since. Sharing some of the visual brand process from birth to now.

These are some of my opinions about current situations and current thoughts communicated as a visual form.
Peace Not War
Illustrated and animated back in March 2022 featuring my pup of peace. Embracing the idea of making art not war. Praying for our friends in Ukraine.
lots of dogs available for adoption
So many doggos need homes…I try to help in different ways to help give voice to the animals, spread awareness, and spend time at the weekly adoption fair to help find them a forever loving home. It is not enough though…so I spent some time illustrating the doggies to help them get more exposure through social media. #adoptdontshop
Twerk puppy
Recently came across some older work done by studio called R A D I O of corgie dogs for Amazon. I like dog everything. Had to spend some time to play around making my own version of it featuring my foster puppy, Bear!
Designer's Mind for Wix's "Playoff"
Wix partnered up with Dribbble and threw a "playoff" game. It's kind of a contest. I decided to participate and have fun with it.
This was the prompt:
What does your mind look like? As a designer, express what’s going on inside your mind using any medium or technique you want.
This is what I wrote:
My designer's mind is aligned with my personal mind of everyday life. It involves a lot and here are a few to list: Exploring the new, open to the unknown, seeking moments of pleasant surprises, sometimes serious and technical, sometimes wild! Many times flexible and catering. Questioning, organizing, asking, learning, thinking, solving, but mostly importantly having fun. After all, designing is all a creative process of solving problems. I believe that enjoying my design process not only makes for a good working environment but also shows through the end product. Cheers! <3
Google logo "rebound"
I like the smoothness of the Google animations so I played around using my Korean name. It was fun to get into the details of each frame one by one to create smooth and natural movements. Animating can be fun and addicting. This project can use more time but I couldn't wait to share it with you guys! :-)
This all aftereffects keyframing with shapes and masks and a lot of graph editor adjusting.
I joined Dribbble
I am sure most people in the industry knows what Dribbble is. But for those of you who don't know, it is a graphic design online networking community where creatives share their screen "shots" of what they are working on to share and be inspired from each other. After so many years of not being part of any online network I finally joined! This was my "debut" shot...
Weather and time info for travel planning
I travel a lot to different countries and often times need to look up the weather to know what to pack. This is a concept combining weather and time information as part of my reminder!

Photoshop painting
Opps, It's been awhile. I got distracted with some new graphics project and a lot of experimenting with baking healthy vegan cookies during my free time lately...Yesterday, I played around with this new PS brush I got though. This took approximately 35-45minutes. This is all in Photoshop using Kyle T. Webster's dry brush. It's all free with Adobe CC account! Nice to get back into my painting roots ^__^ I am obsessed with this sunshine yellow color lately. Maybe it's because of my longing for longer daylight...

After Effects expression syntax error
Surrounded by developers in this high-tech country that is Israel, I became more curious about coding language of After Effects. Trying to understand the basics of expression on After Effects today...............and I get this message "...SYNTAX ERROR..." Took a bit of fussing around to make this work. Expressions are so useful...need to get more into it and tap into another world of AE possibilities! Anyhow, I applied an expression on the scale of the shape layers which reacts to the animated background alpha information. Love how simple/quick it is to animate many shapes uniformly with two short lines of code. Happy honeycomb syntax error. Woo!
This is how the expression look like:
sourceLayer = thisComp.layer("Transition Control 2"); sampleSize = [1,1]; samplePoint = transform.position; colour= sourceLayer.sampleImage(samplePoint,sampleSize); x=colour[0]*100; [x,x]
Copy past and apply to everythang!
IBIZIBI Israel Indie festival
Helped out on animating some promos for a Indie music festival in Mitzepe Ramon, Israel. Collaboration between artists...live footage, illustration, music and 2d animation. I love collaborating and combining creative forces with fellow artists...! I was in charge of the 2d animation and was given creative freedom. Our idea was to create a fun, non-sensical, psychedelic world...I have been obsessed with glitch style...Finally I had a chance to apply it. WOO! Here are some excerpts. No 3rd party plugs used, just some fractal noise and displacement for the glitching, particular for the farting stars...
Animated hands for Salesforce
Sometime last year I joined forces with a studio in Santa Monica to work on a video for Salesforce. I was in charge of all the 2d animations. One of my favorite was to animate these hands in AE ^___^ They are all mostly keyframe animations using strokes and shapes.
Mishka walk cycle
Inspired by my young Russian friend, I designed a simple geometric polar bear cub for fun and animated it walking. I should give it a environment when I have time later.
Cyber security style
Producer approached me with a script for a cyber security client. I animated them a quick test in a digital pixel style.
