A client wanted a simple way to capture subscribers on their website and send them directly to Mailchimp.

I built a Webflow subscription form and connected it to Mailchimp using just their API key and audience ID. Submissions flowed automatically into their list, giving the marketing team real-time access to new leads.

A few days later, spam submissions started coming in. To fix this without frustrating real users, I implemented Mailchimp’s double opt-in. Now, only verified subscribers are added, spam is blocked, and the process runs smoothly and automatically.

The takeaway: integrations aren’t just about connecting tools—they’re about protecting data quality while keeping the user experience seamless.

One header, two color stories.

Green: cool tones, feels productive and safe Purple: gradient glow, feels modern and premium

Same words. Different first impression.

Which one would make you click "Get Started"?

Went with calm and focused. The copy is literally asking people to focus on what matters, so a header that competes for attention with a glow works against its own message.

One big photo or a little more room to look around?

These two take the same visual style in different directions. One fills the screen. The other spreads the attention across a row of portraits.

Which would you choose for your own homepage?

The Heron chat widget is the product's main touchpoint. It floats over the architect's design software, answers questions about the model, and executes changes once approved.

Designing UI that lives inside another application changes the constraints. It has to hold legibility over dense linework, keep a small footprint, stay clearly branded without competing with the host software, and dismiss cleanly.

The product page demonstrates rather than describes. The widget is shown over a real floor plan, mid-conversation about an HVAC clearance issue, with the affected room highlighted in the drawing behind it. The surrounding layout is kept deliberately quiet so the widget holds the visual weight.
