Over a hundred posters, a wall of illustration, and motion experiments, a working record of how I think across brand, type, and frame.

About

Visual storytelling meets purposeful design.

@lulusidd

I often tell myself that everything you can imagine is real.

I love turning messy ideas into experiences that feel simple, intuitive, and nice to look at. I spend an unreasonable amount of time nudging pixels, tweaking animations.

I’m also deep into AI tools, not because they’ll replace designers, but because they’re excellent at helping me do the boring stuff while I focus on the fun part.

The goal? Make things that work beautifully, look great, and don't make users question their life choices.

Motion-First Thinker

Animation and motion graphics are central to how I communicate ideas and emotion.

Interface & Interaction

I design usable, polished interfaces where every transition feels considered.

Storyteller at Heart

From storyboards to social video ads, I design narratives, not just screens.

AI-Augmented Creator

I fold MidJourney, Firefly, Runway, and Claude into my process to push ideas further.

Personal Brand

The mark behind
the name.

LULU is a personal brand built on reflection, duality, and the poetry of Japanese form. It is also a nickname/alias that I commonly use.

ルル · the finished mark
  1. 01Origin

    The Origin Glyph

    The Japanese katakana ル (lu) is the phonetic seed of LULU.

  2. 02Reflect

    The 180° Reflection

    Rotate ル exactly 180° and place it below the original ル. Two halves that slot together, forming my identity.

  3. 03Mark

    ルル · LULU

    Together they read ルル (Lulu), the finished mark drawn directly from my alias 'Lulu'.
