In 2025, I was hired to make one feature launch video for Speechify.
Here are a few shots from the ones that followed.
When @stojakovic57 first showed me Bondin’s work a few months ago, I was instantly in.
The only problem was fitting it all into one reel. There’s a ridiculous amount of great work that never even made the cut. 😢
Really loved working on this one. ❤️🔥
launched the new @wearebondin site + reel a few months ago, never really promoted it. been deep in client work.
got a bit more room now. let's talk ✌🏻

Today, I am happy to soft-launch my first eBook, BeforeDesign One.
It serves beginners best. Other designers might find a thing or two useful in it too. The book spans 10 chapters, covering abstract topics on how different skills could be approached. All related to design, but beyond. It is also half practical, with some useful tips and many references to great examples to look up to, or different worlds to explore. It doesn't teach design rules. It lets you take the ownership of the work. But nudges you into potential ways of approaching work and design.
[+] The book was born out of my mentorship sessions, which I provide to young designers from time to time. If it helps someone, I am happy it exists.
[+] The book was made without the use of AI, with the exception of a final grammar check. The entire book was made in Figma. You can learn more and get one at: beforedesign.gumroad.com/l/o….
This is only the beginning. BeforeDesign One is the first of three volumes. A couple of friends are also working with me on the BeforeDesign website, which will become a platform for many more design resources, as well as lots of freebies for young designers. More soon.
Few snippets I animated for Speechify's Podcast feature.
The funny part?
I actually use this feature all the time.
You're in the middle of a workout, tired of listening to rock for the 100th time…
Just generate a podcast about freaking Genghis Khan.
One of those rare features where I worked on the launch video… and then became a user myself.
In 2025, the animatic for this explainer took longer than many promotional videos I had made before.
Honestly, I didn't know explainers could take that long.
And biotech isn't exactly the easiest thing to explain in 90 seconds.
My biggest takeaway?
The difference between a good explainer and a great one isn't always some incredible new skill.
Sometimes, it's just having enough time to explore.
Directed together with the legendary @Stojakovic57 through @hellofiftyseven , alongside 3D connoisseur Luka Zavišić.
Very proud of what we made for 1910.ai.

As an undergrad at Stanford, CS229 with @AndrewYNg sparked my interest in ML. My course project was fine-tuning Tacotron2, and here's real midterm TA feedback from @vin_sachi. My team's new model at @SpeechifyAI just hit SOTA, five years later. It's pretty surreal looking back.
Speechify's SIMBA 3.2 is now the #1-ranked text-to-speech model on @ArtificialAnlys' Speech Arena.
@ArtificialAnlys independently benchmarks the industry's leading text-to-speech models, and we're honored to take the top spot.
Built for production voice AI, SIMBA 3.2 delivers where it matters most:
• High-quality voice generation
• Low-latency streaming
• Industry-leading pricing
Huge congratulations to the entire AI team. This milestone is the result of countless hours of research, testing, and iteration.
Try SIMBA 3.2 at Speechify.ai.
Looking forward to this one.
I've had a chance to work with Marko recently – since then I've become a huuge fan of his work.
I’m writing a short and practical handbook for folks starting in design.
Book is based on mentoring a few designers who went from zero experience to real client work in 2-3 months — not by grinding tools, but by changing how they approached learning.
The book is almost done.
Before I wrap it up, I’d love to hear from you:
👉 What do you wish someone had explained to you when you were starting out?
What felt confusing, invisible, or unnecessarily hard?
Reply with questions or topics you wish someone had sent you early on. Grateful! ❤️
Been using @SpeechifyAI for a while and they’re killing it.
Wild that I can summarize a boring finance article through a questionnaire and do the whole thing as a conversation with their voice assistant.
Also pretty cool that I got to create promo material for them. ⬇️
Repost or comment “Speechify” to get Voice Typing for free for 3 months
@SpeechifyAI has over 1 million five star reviews across platforms, and dozens of high quality features: Today, we are launching a feature I've been pushing for over 7 years and is finally going live to production (I've been using it internally for more than 4 years) Speechify Voice Typing in our Chrome Extension!
You can download the Speechify Chrome Extension, start talking casually, and let Speechify type for you across Google Docs, Gmail, and anywhere else you write. No matter how fast you type you can get a 2-4x lift in typing speed this way just click the button or keyboard shortcut.
It also polishes your writing for you.
We’re also launching the ability to Talk to Speechify super fast about any website!
Speechify is like your own personal assistant who has already read everything you see and can answer your questions as you talk.
You can ask Speechify for advice on how to respond to emails for work, to quiz you on a school reading, and to summarize key takeaways from an article without having to read the whole thing.
Over the last year, Speechify has evolved into your go-to Voice AI Assistant.
As an applied Al research lab that's the largest consumer Voice Al company in the Apple, Google Chrome, and Android App Stores, we’ve doubled down on more ways to be useful to our users.
Speechify now reads anything out loud to you, creates hyper-personalized podcasts perfectly tailored to you based on your prompts, docs, or recommendations, and now it can also type for you and answer your questions.
ChatGPT and Gemini are great. But we know that our users, and a large segment of the population, want Voice AI to be front-and-center in their user experience – not hidden behind an extra tab or an afterthought.
Speechify is building the voice operating system to meet their needs.
Voice typing & our Voice AI Assistant will soon be available on iOS/Android, our Mac App, Windows, and more.
We’ll also soon be adding additional Voice AI agentic workflows. Our vision is for Speechify to make a doctor's appointment and then follow up if they don't pick up for you or call a store and ask if they have a certain item in stock.
There are so many people working on Voice AI for customer support right now – Speechify is empowering everyone in the world to have their own Voice AI assistant on the other end who works for you.
❤️

I spent some time this weekend looking into the data behind the gifs and stickers we've been doing at @_Goldenwolf_ over the past few years.
Here are some insights and learnings:

How clipdrop.co/relight works?
A short thread to explain how realtime relighting of a picture is possible.
Can't believe I only now found out about this piece.
It's like a bible for understanding the approach of motion in product design.
