Magic with Steampunk Sparks
Together with Magoo Studios, we created a visual language rooted in steampunk: copper, gold, wood. Objects that feel handmade and trustworthy. The key for unlocking access. The flywheel, for compounding returns.
Alumni Ventures wanted to make venture capital accessible to everyone. We helped them get there: new brand, new design system, new website. The result won a Webby.

Alumni Ventures had grown fast and their digital presence showed it. We built a design system that tied everything together: consistent, scalable, and built to keep up with a company that wasn't slowing down.
“Varvet runs agile best practices, always prepared with analysis and work status so the project is always on track”



Sign-up is where interest becomes investment. We tested and simplified the flow until conversion actually moved. Clear steps, less friction, more people in.
A fully remote collaboration across design, development, and animation. Different time zones, same standards.
Webby Awards 2022 Honoree: Best User Experience, Best Use of Animation, Best Visual Design. FCS Portfolio Awards Bronze Medalist.
