I worked as the art director for Interlock Network, a decentralized cybersecurity platform, shaping their brand identity into a bold, cohesive experience.
Collaborating closely with marketing and product teams, I helped drive Interlock’s user growth by 335% — from 115K to 500K active users — by crafting a cohesive visual identity and storytelling that resonated with the community.
From the beginning, I wanted the visual language to not only look futuristic but to reflect the reality of their mission. Cybersecurity lives in the shadows — phishing, ransomware, unseen threats — and that’s why I leaned into a darker aesthetic. It’s not just a stylistic choice; it’s a metaphor for navigating the hostile environments where these dangers hide.
I also developed this style into 3D illustrations and incorporated them into a sleek and interactive website for Interlock, combining bold
3D with modern layout design. The project focused on delivering a smooth user experience while showcasing strong branding for Web3 security.
Drawing from cyberpunk influences, I designed animations for their website, social media, and explainer videos that tied everything together in one consistent narrative.
The goal was to balance intensity with clarity — modern threats are complex, but the platform’s message needed to remain accessible. By contrasting luminous highlights against deep, dark backdrops, I mirrored how Interlock illuminates hidden risks and protects users in a digital landscape that can often feel overwhelming.
This explainer video highlights ThreatSlayer, showcasing its advanced protection against online threats. With sleek visuals and clear messaging, it demonstrates how the product keeps users safe in the digital world.
