THE BEGINNING

YT BANNERS

2014-2016

Hi I'm Shady, a graphic, type and UI/UX designer with a thing for obsessive detail and a curiosity that pushes me to constantly explore new ways of creating.

I got into design a few years ago, mostly by making YouTube banners. It was a key moment where I started exploring Photoshop, After Effects, and Cinema 4D.

Back then, I tended to fixate on one tool, draining every bit of inspiration from it before chasing the next thing that could keep me engaged.

SMM

2021-2023

When my brother asked me to help manage the IG page for an app he built, I jumped back into design by relearning Photoshop and picking up Illustrator. It was a chance to reconnect with visual design and take creative direction into my own hands.

Over time, I started receiving small gigs from others too, which kept me learning and steadily improving in Photoshop and Illustrator.

THE PERSONAL WORKS

INSTAGRAM

2021-2024

While working on flyers, album covers, posters, IG posts and other small projects, I started seeking inspiration on Instagram.

I came across styles like brutalism, Y2K, 80s vintage, neomorphism, anime-inspired graphics, and type-driven layouts. Whenever something stood out, I’d either try to recreate it faithfully or apply what I had learned to new projects, using them as a way to explore, iterate, and grow creatively.

THE CONTINUATION

CRYPTO & UNI

2024-NOW

In early 2024, I got back into crypto through the memecoin wave and quickly started designing for clients in the space.

I was applying what I learned in university lectures by day to live projects by night.

As projects evolved, I dove into web design and began building with Framer to bring ideas to life more interactively.

2014-2016

Hi, I'm Shady and I started my journey in graphic design a few years ago, making YouTube banners, mainly for small Minecraft creators.

Most were free templates but some others were fully mine (and pretty bad). Still, this was a key moment where I explored Photoshop, After Effects, and Cinema 4D.

Early on, I loved every design tool. I’d go through phases of using one obsessively until it eventually burned me out.

2021-2023

I hadn't touched a designing tool in ages, but my brother asked me to help him run and manage the IG page of an app he developed with his friend, so I picked Photoshop back up, tried to learn Illustrator, and went with it.

As time passed by, I started getting small gigs from other people too, which helped me keep myself learning PS and AI.

THE PERSONAL WORKS

INSTAGRAM

2021-2024

While I was making flyers, album covers, posters, and other minor gigs, I started looking for design inspirations mainly on Instagram. I stumbled upon many cool styles like brutalism, Y2K, 80s vintage, neomorphism, anime, typography-centered, and so on, and whenever I found something that I liked, I would try to recreate it 1:1 or reapply something I learned from them on another design.

THE CONTINUATION

CRYPTO & UNI

2024-NOW

One day, in early 2024, I got interested in crypto again, like I had been a couple of years earlier with NFTs, and I came across the memecoin bubble.

In that space I made many designs for clients and was applying the design principles I would learn, in university in the morning, there at night.

Later, though, I had to increase my skills and had to learn how to make sites, and that's when I started with Framer and web design in general.

2025

S.A.R.A. was a Solana token project that never made it to launch. I was working on the full visual identity including logos, fonts, colors and website. The project was shut down early, so I only completed the site and a placeholder logo.

The design was heavily inspired by MSCHF’s TH3K. I had just recreated that site in Framer, and this reskin shows how well I captured the essence.
