This is built in Kajabi.
Meet Kiln & Frame, a demo brand created to explore what a custom Kajabi website can look and feel like.
Editorial layouts. Rich imagery. Interactive details. And content that remains editable inside Kajabi.
Built through the AI-assisted process I’ve been developing and testing.
Pretty excited about this one.
love the editorial approach for kiln & frame. curious - how did you handle the image grids inside kajabi? i've struggled to make kajabi feel this custom without breaking the cms
A frame is a decision about what matters 🖼️
Spent the past week designing FRAME, a brand identity and poster series for a design exhibition. Four posters, one system: a main exhibition visual, a talk, a workshop, and an open call for entries, each with its own composition and the same confident language underneath.
No sterile gallery minimalism, no chaos pretending to be creativity. Just type, color, and a lot of decisions about what goes inside the frame. 🖤
Sometimes the best proof a system works is that no two posters look the same.
I like the design and color palette🔥🔥
Vesper — A Cinematic Art Experience
It is an immersive, video-led website where six paintings and one film come together as a single story about the hour when the light begins to leave.
The aim was to make a website feel like a film rather than a page. The experience opens with a looping cinematic sequence framed in letterbox, then moves through six full-screen chapters that stack over one another as you scroll. Typography is part of the motion too: titles rise out of a soft blur, and lines of text come into focus word by word.
What went into it:
• Art direction built from a single palette of dusk violet, coral and deep navy
• A full-bleed opening film, encoded for smooth web playback, with a separate crop for mobile
• Sticky “curtain” chapter transitions and scroll-triggered text reveals
• Editorial typography pairing Boska and General Sans
• Fully responsive layouts for desktop, tablet and mobile
• A subtle film-grain overlay and cinematic shading to keep every scene consistent
Built in Framer. The walkthrough above is a 30-second capture of the live site, with original motion graphics and score.
This is very nice I love it.
