In my spare time I co-host a video game podcast called "I Don’t Have Time to Game Anymore”. Designing the website was a chance to make something fun and different, focusing on graphic design and browser filter effects. Visit the site.
Redesigning the podcast was a tricky tight rope to walk. I needed to balance conventional video game imagery while also trying to inject the personality of the show. I knew I didn't want to go for the whole digital 8-bit look and feel—that feels overdone and lazy. While experimenting I accidentally made my co-host look like a Nintendo 64 polygon model. This felt fun, modern but also old-fashioned, and most importantly on-brand. It was the inspiration for the design, and everything else followed.
Sites tend to be more media-heavy these days so I've been working on a lot of custom skins for audio and video. In our efforts to promote an episode we would cut a couple of sections we thought were funny or interesting, and then embed them in a tweet. I thought it would be fun to add these episodic clips to the website as textured background elements.

I helped Alpesh and Kiran launch a Deliveroo-based burger bar. The site included a custom newsletter signup form and the entire menu is editable along with custom links to their Deliveroo store. Visit the site.
