My entry for the Contra × Squarespace challenge.
This was my first time building a website with Squarespace, and I honestly loved the experience. It was surprisingly easy to create something that feels premium without writing any code.
For this project, I explored the new Finish Layer features, including Block Animations and Block Transforms, to make the website feel more dynamic and polished.
Sharing both the final website and a behind-the-scenes video of the process.

Love the Renaissance style. Good luck!
Thank you!
This looks clean and well thought out. How long did it take you to bring everything together?
Thank you. It took me around 4 days to put everything together from the moodboard, design concept, preparing the assets, learning how to use Squarespace, and finally build it.
Great work!
Using Renaissance paintings to sell a second brain app is such an unexpected pairing, and it works because the whole point of those hands reaching toward each other is about weight and effort, which ties right back into your invisible weight line.
Thank you. You're spot on because that's the concept I finally decide to go to. Really appreciate it.

Took a WebGL fabric physics simulation and pushed it to the absolute limit.
Built a complete visual concept for a Peptides brand around it. Pure interaction, zero boring static layouts. Let's go!
Pushing fabric physics that far for a peptides concept is a strong choice. The quiet editorial layout lets the motion carry the brand instead of competing with it.

Theory was designed for a creative studio that needed something bold and editorial without losing clarity or usability.
The part I loved most was figuring out how to make the site feel visually expressive while still giving the portfolio work room to breathe. Lots of strong type, intentional movement, and little custom details throughout.
Designed + developed in Squarespace 7.1 with custom CSS and JavaScript.
The oversized “recent work” type over the project imagery is a lovely touch. Gives the portfolio a real editorial feel.
Recently shipped this motion-first agency website for Verq.
I handled the frontend architecture and development, with a focus on making the website itself feel like a showcase of their work.
WebGL, scroll-driven motion, GSAP, Lenis, Next.js, TypeScript and a Strapi CMS all tied together into a responsive site the team can update themselves.
Case study: View the Verq project on Contra
I’m open to new projects where the website needs more than a standard template particularly interactive marketing sites, agency websites and product experiences.
