Take a vampire, a grim reaper and a bat for a midnight ride through a haunted town. Hold to boost over broken track, brake before the big hills, and grab candy to refill your boost. Push your luck too far and your passengers end up splattered across the screen.

Solene: skincare e commerce website, built in Framer

Skincare shopping should feel as good as the routine itself. For Solene, I designed and built a full online store with a soft, warm identity: a bold maroon and pink palette, big expressive type and real-skin photography.

What's inside:

A hero that sets the brand tone straight away

A Bestsellers section for quick browsing

Category pages for Cleanse, Hydrate and Protect

A shop page with price slider, filters, sorting and hover image previews

An Our Story page with brand values

A clean, confident footer

The hover image previews on the shop page caught my eye - they let shoppers sense texture instantly without an extra click.

When I started freelancing, I never imagined reaching milestones like this. There have been challenges, long nights, and plenty of lessons along the way.

Seeing that consistent effort pay off feels rewarding.

A big thank you to all my clients who trusted me with their ideas and everyone who has supported me along the way.

Still a long way to go, but today, I'm taking a moment to appreciate how far I've come. ❤️

What's a recent milestone that made you feel proud?
