Hamaki – make booking process fun
A self-initiated redesign of Hamaki, the booking platform CMD students use to meet their teachers. The old one was a chore, so I gave it personality. If Hamaki were a person, it would be a 35-year-old designer in a banana t-shirt: mature, creative, never childish. I designed the UI in Figma, brought it to life in Rive with interactive teacher characters that react to booking states, and art-directed illustrator Bita Motamedikia to keep everything visually in sync. Playful, but professional.
