Sokio

I design interactive experiences with intention and taste. Motion, craft, and nothing ordinary - for founders and brands building something they'll be proud of.

Week 1: Prospect loves the work, agrees to price and scope. I'm 90% sure this is closing (delulu)

Week 2: Invoice sent. No response. I follow up. "Not moving forward." (reality)

Two weeks. Zero revenue. Full lesson.

Alhamdulilah. On to the next.

@c0delemons Congrats, Avi.
Nothing like seeing dreams come true.
I bet the next chapter's going to be brutal - but in the best way though!

Because static isn't fun :)

@abdussalampopsy @MrBeast You're welcome! 🥂
No, not Mr Beast. I think his was 10 years.
Can't remember the guy's name, but I saw the video on Instagram.

You're actually much more capable than you think you are.

Took me 3 tries to make something you could drink with your eyes. 💧

The time lapse was kinda inspired by @abdussalampopsy 's time lapse on how he made that illustration with Adobe Neo and Figma.

@abdussalampopsy So I'm not the only one that obsesses over stuff like this 😅
So far, the animation looks nice, man. 🥂

Behind the scenes of my latest project:
Spent hours modelling and rendering what was supposed to be a simple glass of water, but it somehow turned into a glass with an onion. 🧅😅

I rendered the glass on its own to isolate the issue, but it ended up with a strange dark tint. I dropped it into my design layout, hoping it was just a background effect.

Well, it wasn't 😂. That’s when it hit me... ohhhh, I definitely have to model this again. But sometimes you just have to finish the flawed iteration before starting fresh! 😅

I think the issue has something to do with the lighting and IOR (refractive index). But I'll have to rebuild it to figure it out, then I'll post an update.

Keep building!🥂
