The power-cut interaction is a great way to make the lighting system feel tangible—the transition from the dark industrial baseline to the warm windows reads instantly. Nice restraint in the monochrome palette too; it lets the real-time light do the storytelling.
I wanted the site to feel personal, editorial, and story-led — something that reflects the emotional tone of my writing rather than feeling like a generic author template.
The experience brings together my books, background, themes, achievements, reader testimonials, and a clearer way for readers to explore my work and connect with me.
A big part of the direction was balancing personality with simplicity: strong typography, warm storytelling, clear navigation, and enough visual breathing room to let the content lead.
Would love to hear what you think of the final experience.
