Website design and creative direction for the launch of Women Who Don’t Sit Still, built under my Ride Like a Lady brand.
Because this was a book website, the goal wasn’t to simply put a book cover on a page and add a buy button. I wanted the website to feel like an extension of the book itself... bold, gritty, feminine and a little rebellious.
I created the visual direction, page structure, responsive layout, book presentation and calls to action, while carrying the existing Ride Like a Lady identity throughout the site.
The result is a focused author and book website that gives the book its own world while making it easy for readers to discover the story, learn about the author and find where to buy it.

Why does some text feel effortless, and some feel like a wall?
Same words, same order, same brand. All that changes is the size relationship between the lines, and the space between them. That alone decides whether the eye knows where to start.
01 - A real scale. The headline jumps, the body steps back, and the spacing tightens around what belongs together. Now the eye lands, skims, and reads in the right order.
Hierarchy isn't bigger fonts everywhere, it's a bigger gap between the levels, and a smaller one inside them.
02 - One size, one gap. Eyebrow, headline, and body sit at nearly the same size, spaced evenly apart. Tidy, but flat, nothing steps forward, so nothing says "read me first."
Be honest - do you use a type scale, or just size things until they look right?

The transition from that portrait hero into the stacked device mockups is smooth, curious how much of the three.js layer is custom versus a library like R3F.

I helped the team reshape the user experience, making the product easier to understand and navigate without adding unnecessary complexity.
I documented the thinking, decisions, and work in a case study.
