I’m no skilled in code, however because of AI instruments, I’ve been capable of carry my interactive concepts to life—particularly in private tasks, the place I really like stretching the bounds of movement and visible storytelling on the internet.
AI has made it potential for m to construct issues I wouldn’t be capable to code by myself—particularly in the case of motion-heavy, visually expressive websites. This strategy lets me keep hands-on with each design and improvement, whilst a solo creator.
Characteristic Work
Since my studio work continues to be underneath wraps, I’m sharing private tasks which were key to my artistic progress. These are the place I get to play, check concepts, and preserve the spark alive.

A vibrant mini-guide to vegetarian spots in Taipei—my hometown and a surprisingly veggie-friendly metropolis. This venture not too long ago acquired an Honorable Point out from Awwwards. I created it to share my private suggestions and spark curiosity amongst worldwide guests.
The positioning encompasses a playful and energetic identification paired with a clear, trendy visible model. I introduced in playful movement particulars to provide the location a energetic and memorable rhythm—from animated stickers and rhythmic scroll-based animations to a customized “reset” impact impressed by the effervescent fizz of a drink. I needed the stickers to reset with a way of drama and enjoyable, and this bubbly movement gave the interplay a singular, fluid high quality that I used to be particularly happy with.
I used Bricks Builder, a WordPress-based No-code platform, for structure, and Claude AI/Cursor to generate customized code. Up to now, I’d seek for web sites with related motions to information engineers. Now, with AI, I can simply describe what I think about and form it little by little—no extra being caught looking for the proper reference.
Somewhat than changing creativity, I see AI as a method to amplify it—like having a lens that helps me carry feelings to the display.

AI lets me construct whole tasks by myself, which feels extremely rewarding—but additionally unusually lonely at instances. On this journey, I typically discover myself creating every thing alone, a quiet act of creation that resonates with each achievement and isolation.
The design itself options clear, restrained typography, with cursor interactions and scroll animations utilizing distorted shader results to evoke a dreamlike, otherworldly environment. Every generated panorama tells a narrative of magnificence intertwined with a way of solitude and quiet stress, as if the world is each huge and silently distant.
Ning Huang 2024 Portfolio
My first totally self-developed and designed web site—this portfolio marks the place all of it started. Clear layouts, daring entry animations, and Flip-style transitions give the location a definite cadence and readability. It laid the muse for my strategy to motion-driven construction in digital design, a core aspect of my work that continues to form how I create participating, dynamic experiences as we speak.
Ideas and explorations
Due to my background in industrial design, I’ve had the possibility to discover extra 3D assets early on. Outdoors of private tasks, I typically tinker with experimental ideas utilizing instruments like Spline and Cinema 4D—simply to see what occurs. I’d like to carry extra of those playful explorations into the online sooner or later.

Design Philosophy
I don’t imagine in inflexible design guidelines. To me, design is a language—and having one thing you genuinely need to say is important. Rising up in Asia, the place kids are sometimes taught to be obedient and quiet, I wasn’t naturally outspoken both. Design turned my voice. By means of visuals and movement, I can say issues that really feel daring, loud, and clear—even when I can’t at all times discover the proper phrases.
Instruments and Methods
I like to consider myself as a mad scientist in the case of instruments. One in all my favourite hobbies is discovering methods to spice up effectivity—whether or not it’s dashing up workflows or making the tedious elements of design really feel enjoyable. This provides me more room to give attention to the artistic aspect of issues. I exploit Vibe Coding to construct web sites, and I additionally write customized Figma plugins to automate UI package creation and handle Variables extra simply.
Inspiration
A number of my inspiration comes from literature and music. There’s one thing about the best way phrases and sounds create environment that basically fires up my creativeness. After I work, I prefer to take heed to music that matches the vibe of the design—it helps me keep within the zone and lets the visible tone circulation extra instinctively.
Future Targets
As a digital designer nonetheless early in my journey, my predominant aim is to continue learning and evolving. On the identical time, I’m desperate to channel my artistic vitality into extra non-commercial collaborations, working alongside different designers and builders to discover new concepts with out boundaries.
