A while ago, we introduced Beew V2.0.
We redesigned the studio and introduced our Design Subscription.
But that was only the first part.
Now we're rebuilding what happens behind Beew, too.
We're building Beew Hive, our own platform for running projects, collaborating with clients, and connecting the workflows behind the studio.
Alongside it, we’re rebuilding the technical foundation of Beew:
→ a new public website
→ a structured content system
→ Beew Hive (Client portal)
→ internal workflows & automations
→ a shared design system across everything
This time, I’m going to build it in public.
Sharing the product decisions, design explorations, technical choices, mistakes, and everything we learn along the way.

Building your own client platform in public is a brave move. Most studios hide the messy middle, so sharing the product decisions and mistakes along the way will make the Beew Hive launch land much harder.

End of an era.
After 3 good years on Framer, we moved
@designme to our own stack.
Framer got us far, and I'd still recommend it for a lot of teams.
But the more we grew, the more we needed control: over the code, structure and speed of testing and shipping new things.
So, we rebuilt everything from scratch in Astro.
It's the same setup we now build for our clients (which is exactly why we had to run our own site on it first).
Really proud of the team and how fast we're moving now.
DesignMe 2.0 is live ↓
Big move! Framer is great for speed, but having full control over the stack opens up so many possibilities.
Super clean work!
Two ways to redesign the same living room. Which editor would you use?
A · Material Studio
B · Spatial Workshop
Rotate the room, swap the sofa, try a finish and save your design. I built both in Flutter, and I’m sharing both versions and the 3D assets for free:

Material Studio. The light interface lets the room be the hero, while the dark one makes the controls compete with it. Really generous of you to share the 3D assets too. Thank you.
