Studio

Colorworks is a one-designer studio: 15+ years across motion, video, and print — 2D animation and VFX for brands and agencies in finance and tech, with a stop at PlayStation along the way. Today AI is a daily collaborator here, from first experiments to finished projects.

Most client motion work lives under NDA, so my own animation, including patterns set in motion, lives on the Motion page → A reel of client selects is in the works.

Roll & Do — Stop deciding. Start rolling. A blue die, colorful task slips, and illustrated hobby cards.

Roll & Do

An app by Colorworks

When choosing is the hardest part.

I made a task and hobby app for the moment when everything is competing for your attention. Pick the time you have, roll among six options, and give yourself somewhere to start.

It started with a handwritten planner, movable sticky tabs, and a physical die. Sorting tasks by duration made the list smaller; rolling removed the exhausting comparison step. Roll & Do brings that same tactile logic to the screen.

Choose a lane
Quick, Medium, or Focus. Start with the time and energy you actually have.
Let the die choose
Six possible starts. One roll to move from comparing to doing.
Make room for hobbies
Hobby Hour applies the same idea to the things you want to make time for.

A personal experiment in product design and building with AI: carrying an idea from a physical prototype into a working app, while keeping the human choices at the center.

// Patterns

Drawn by hand

Plants, seashells, fish, and everyday shapes, explored through drawing, repetition, and color.

Experiments with AI

The print side of the practice: seamless pattern design for home goods. AI made generating patterns nearly free, which moved the craft to curation — 3,621 generated, thirty kept.

The pattern pipeline

Midjourney generation → human curation → production-ready seamless tiles → product mockups → Etsy. The interesting part is everything after generation.
