The Problem

Third-party profiles were defining my narrative. I needed a single source of truth that I owned — a site that proved I could design and build, not just claim it.

My Role

Designed and built everything. Brand identity, design system, frontend development, CMS architecture, and deployment.

Approach

Started with the constraint: monochrome only. No accent colours. Hierarchy through typography, weight, spacing, and opacity. Built with Next.js App Router, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion. Self-hosted Strapi CMS for content management. The site itself is the case study.
