Interactive MapData VizClimateD3.jsReact

An interactive data visualization exploring global climate migration patterns. Built with React and D3.js to communicate complex environmental data through an intuitive, engaging interface.

Brand IdentityWeb DevE-CommerceAstro + TailwindCyrillic TypographySEO 95+

Built Nebesna end-to-end — brand, code, content, and commerce. A spiritual cosmetics label with Cyrillic-first typography I hand-selected for both scripts. Light, sacred color language. Physical packaging, motion graphics, full Instagram content system.

Custom Astro + Tailwind + Preact architecture from scratch: ultra-fast, zero-bloat, easy to update without a developer. Mobile-first touch interactions, editorial collection drops instead of flat product grids. Lighthouse 95+ across all four categories. The full package.

Editorial DesignBrand IdentityIllustration DirectionPrintSocial Media

Led the complete visual identity and print design for a mental wellness book. Built a color system of soft, desaturated tones — calming rather than clinical. Directed every illustration to make complex psychological concepts feel approachable. Readability-first typography with generous white space at every level.

Beyond the book: logo, brand guidelines, digital assets, social templates, and launch campaign materials. The cohesive system drove a 30% increase in social engagement and helped exceed initial sales projections.

Brand IdentityWeb DevUX/UIClient AcquisitionAgency Operations

Co-founded a premium boutique agency from the ground up. Brand identity rooted in classical typography and refined minimalism — the calling card that attracted luxury clients. Led design, development, business development, and client management simultaneously.

Custom development for every client: Webflow, Framer, custom code — whatever the project required. Comprehensive style guides and usability testing built into every engagement. Multiple long-term client relationships converted from cold outreach.

UI/UX DesignGame DesignPixel ArtPlaytestingStudio Brand & Web

Joined a narrative indie game studio as UI/UX Designer — expanded fast into game design, playtesting, asset creation, and studio brand. Every interface was designed as part of the player journey: menus and HUDs that feel like they belong in the world.

Contributed to narrative pacing, progression systems, and unlock mechanics. Led structured playtesting sessions for every build — feedback synthesis translated into real design improvements. Pixel art assets, texture sourcing, and the full studio website and brand identity.

Brand IdentityPackaging DesignPhotographyMotion DesignE-Commerce

A cosmetics company with good products and a visual identity stuck in 2003. Rebuilt everything — logo, seasonal color system, packaging, photography, video, and e-commerce. 35% more social engagement and 25% higher conversion within the first quarter.

Color-coded category architecture across a 50+ product catalog. Full in-house photography and video production. E-commerce redesign with purchase-behavior-optimized layouts. Print-ready files for every label, delivered with manufacturer specs.

Portrait of Vi Saint, creative technologist

About

Vi Saint is a Creative Technologist working across design, code and visual storytelling. His practice explores how thoughtful interfaces, memorable identities and carefully crafted interactions can make technology feel more human, intuitive and emotionally engaging.

Notes

A place where design thinking meets honest reflection. I write about software, interfaces, the craft of building things on the web — and occasionally the stranger terrain of being human while doing it.

Blog

Never Ending Improvements

On the never-ending quest for a just-right site — a new discussion page, a reworked posts index, and the small tweaks that make ramblings easier to scan.

Engineering

Keep It Simple

Web development loves to overcomplicate the basics. A case for the simplest tool for the job — and against the framework du jour.

The iPod

Two stories — growing up reading about Steve Jobs and the creation of the iPod — about faith, craft, and doing the best job you can.
