Case Studies
Showcasing 6 Projects
Motion GraphicS & Design
lighting up the Premier League: Selhurst Park LED Design
As a designer with experience in creating artwork and animation for sports teams, it is an honor to have my work displayed at Crystal Palace’s home games at Selhurst Park, where it was shown during Premier League matches. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the atmosphere of these games with my designs.
Tasked with creating an animation that stands out among other ads from big brand advertisers, I had 30 minutes to utilize the unique dimensions and structure of the screen to my advantage.
My goal was to create a piece that captures the attention of viewers in a crowded and competitive environment. To achieve that, I made sure the long horizontal ratio was optimized and and I linked the edges on the left and right to create a seamless illusion.
Motion GraphicS & Design
When My Design Lit Up the World's Tallest Building, Burj Khalifa
Being based in Dubai from 2017 to 2019 provided me with numerous opportunities, but none quite as memorable as having my work shown in the Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in the world.
I had the opportunity to create a motion graphics and video cut lasting over one minute, based on existing promotional videos for the upcoming run of Phantom of the Opera at Dubai Opera. The final product was showcased in a LED display on the Burj Khalifa, and was subsequently featured in major publications such as New York’s Playbill Magazine, Dubai’s Time Out, and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s official website.
Brand Identity & Logo Design
Logo with a Hidden Symbolism
CTS, a full-service audio/video/lighting company, requires a compelling representation of their business. This will help them effectively communicate their services and distinguish themselves in the industry.
In order to effectively communicate the key aspect of their business – audio-video-lighting (A-V-L) – and resonate with their target market, I incorporated these elements into the logo design in a clever and visually appealing way. The resulting icon/mark also resembles a play button, adding a level of whimsy and playfulness to the overall design.
I created a unique and memorable brand identity for CTS through strategic color and typeface choices and eye-catching design executions.
Game Assets
Now at 10 Million Downloads! Designed the Main App Assets for a Mobile Match-3 Game
One of my most enjoyable and notable achievements was creating the assets for the game “Gummy Drop” for the popular company Bigfish Games in 2014. Gummy Drop has since achieved 10 million downloads.
The aim of the project was to design gummy candy assets that would stand out and be more attractive to players than those in other popular match-3 games at the time. I was up for the challenge and worked hard to make the assets as visually appealing and satisfying to the senses as possible, with the hope of hooking players on the game.

Crafting a Social Media Hub from Scratch: My Journey to Empower a Community of Content Creators
During the pandemic, I took the opportunity to work on a side project that helps content creators establish a strong online presence for themselves or their businesses.
Despite limited activity this year, I was able to grow the project’s Facebook group community to over 24,000 members and Tiktok account to over 31,000 followers. The website and its resources remain active and useful for anyone looking to improve their online presence.
UI DESIGN
Transforming the Formula 1 Experience: Camera Stream Switcher!
As a UI designer, it was exciting to work with Streamlayer and Formula 1 TV to enhance the F1 viewing experience. The task was to design a part of F1 TV app’s interface, enabling fans to choose from multiple live camera angles—front, rear, main, and driver face cams with audio commentary—offering a more immersive experience.
I focused on creating a clean, intuitive layout that allows users to easily switch views and select drivers, enhancing engagement. Using Figma, Adobe Illustrator, and Protopie, I developed a mockup that highlighted the feature’s potential, delivering a dynamic and user-friendly solution.
LOGO DESIGN
Designed a Logo for a Biopharma Giant!
As the designer for the internal department logo of Alkermes, a pharmaceutical company based in Dublin, Ireland, I was tasked with capturing the essence of the department and its three sub-branches.
The company provided me with three keywords to focus on: expertise, operations, and effectiveness. I chose a simple typeface and carefully aligned it with a grid system to create a visually balanced and well-composed design.
The result is a logo that accurately represents the department and aligns with the values of the company
