This project is not for everyone.
Only for bearded balds. 🙂
I’ve been exploring a concept for a grooming brand built around a very specific idea: one ritual, two zones — scalp and beard.
The direction leans into a more premium, editorial feel.
Muted tones, tactile materials, soft lighting… keeping it closer to something handmade than overproduced.
Most product pages sell features.
This one tries to sell a feeling.
Still a work in progress, but curious to see where it goes.

I’ve got 2 spots open for new projects this month.
Branding, web, or anything where first impressions actually matter.
Feel free to reach out.
This looks clean and well thought out. How long did it take you to bring everything together?
I almost ruined this one.
Just finished a concept site for a nature photography studio — Aetherial View. First draft had everything I usually reach for. Clever scroll animations. A secondary nav. Hover micro-interactions. A bit of texture behind the hero.
Looked great in Figma. Felt awful next to the actual photographs.
A heron at golden hour doesn't need help from a parallax effect. It just needs to not be interrupted.
So I started removing things. The animations. The second nav. The texture. Half the type styles. Until the site basically got out of the way.
What's left: three nav items. An asymmetric grid that gives each shot room. Serif only where it earns attention — pull quotes, section heads. Black background as a gallery wall.
The hardest part wasn't designing it. It was trusting that less would feel like enough.
For a portfolio site, that's usually the whole brief — even when nobody says it out loud.
