I led the design across interface, flow, and brand, from landing page to full web app. Collaboration with the client happened entirely online through async chats and live Twitter Spaces to move fast and iterate in real time.

I designed it to build instant trust through clarity, contrast, and flow. The visual direction blends cyberpunk vibes with AI-generated geometric dogs to signal intelligence and edge. My crypto background helped turn abstract features into something tangible. A responsive Framer prototype allowed for real-time testing, feedback, and iteration.

To close the loop, I delivered a structured and scalable design system, including typography, color palette, and brand motion assets for marketing. The Figma file was fully organized with responsive components, accessible styles, and developer-ready specs. I also created animated logo variations to support future promotional use, ensuring the brand could evolve without losing its core identity.

The Hounds taught me that designing for Web3 means designing with patience, precision, and context. My crypto background helped, but it was the constant iteration that shaped me. As the product keeps evolving, I stay close — refining, adjusting, and learning. It reminded me that good design isn’t a finish line. It’s a relationship.

Working with Filipe has been a pleasure. Having experience in creative fields, I know how hard it can be to align vision with execution, but he made the entire process seamless. His thoughtful additions and recommendations elevated the final product, transforming ideas into exceptional outcomes. He perfectly bridges the gap between concept and creation, and I look forward to continuing this fantastic collaboration.
