GitHub mini apps
Here I collect small dev and design experiments — quick tools, UI prototypes, and “what-if” interactions I build to learn faster. It’s a playground where I test ideas in real code (Swift, web), polish the UX, and capture patterns I can reuse in product work. Everything is public by default: if an experiment is useful, I ship it as a tiny playable demo so others can try it, copy parts, or build on top.

Experiments
3D layered weather
Creating complex products, I have always wondered: how augmented reality could be used for industrial purposes. In my free time, I am interested in other people's cases in manufacturing, medicine, navigation and entertainment. My main job did not contain AR/VR, so I experimented at home.
Decided to test different interaction mechanics in AR and their limitations. So I created a small set of assets and mechanics to import into Adobe Aero (macOS). Testing scenes in Adobe Aero (iOS).
Technology Stack
Figma, Adobe Aero, Apple AR-kit

- WorkplaceAugmenting the workplace (potential for employee engagement and a new perspective on tools)
Own Design System
Working on industrial design systems, I've created many components, from atomic design principle to complete patterns. To understand and test, I also work on my design system. Here I can experiment and try different things. It's simple, but with the potential to create MVPs of complex dashboards in any domain. At the moment the basic components and part of the data visualization components have been created. The core will use Angular in combination with customized Prime NG.

HEX to SwiftUI
color converter
color converter
I built this tiny tool for my own workflow while developing in SwiftUI. I often needed to turn HEX colors into SwiftUI Color quickly — without adding extra libraries or digging through docs. The converter is lightweight, works in the browser, and makes it easy to paste a color, get the SwiftUI output, and move on.
- Remembers historyKeeps recently converted colors so I can return to them later and reuse palettes.
- Copy / paste friendlyJust paste a HEX value and copy the SwiftUI result. Fast enough to use even on mobile.
Try it yourself
If you work with SwiftUI and often copy colors from Figma or web palettes, feel free to try the converter online. Paste any HEX value, copy the generated SwiftUI Color, and save your recent results for later — it’s a small tool, but it removes a lot of tiny friction during UI work.

Scheme Design Tool
I planned to do this project as a demo of my design system, but I have separated it into a stand-alone activity.
It should help to structure processes and data
in the form of linked schemes. To the nodes can connect modules such as archives, media and other attachments.
It is supposed to be possible to create custom schemas or use templates for CJM, USM or others. Maybe the design will be simplified. This project
is frozen.

This little channel can help novice designers (junior-middle).
Some points will be known for a long time, and some may remind or even help to understand this difficult profession.

Pinterest Boards
I'm updating boards daily with designs and ideas on a wide variety of subjects.
Pinterest often helps me and colleagues pick up references or find unusual ideas. But the main goal is to collect for the soul.
