Atelier was my first real attempt at going fully editorial.
For an architecture studio, I didn't think the website needed to explain everything immediately.
The work itself should do a lot of the talking.
So with Atelier, I gave the imagery and typography way more room and built the layouts around that.
Made sense for the niche, and it also made the site way more fun to design.
Instead of simply making a hotel website look beautiful, I focused on creating a design that helps visitors quickly understand:
Where they are staying → What they get → Why they should trust the hotel → How they can book.
I designed this hotel Website for Olma Hotel with one goal in mind: make the brand feel premium while making the booking journey simple and clear.
The design combines large architectural imagery, strong typography, spacious layouts, and carefully placed CTAs to create a visual experience that communicates comfort, trust, and luxury.
Editorial book design for @rowrowlearn, which has over 70k organic followers ✨
When the author reached out to me for the book's layout design - she said that she doesn't what another off-the-shelf educational book. Good design and aesthetics mattered to her as much as the content of the book.
It was a very interesting project to work on - the editorial design was about creating a consistent visual language across longer-form text & explanations to data, illustrations, diagrams, while still giving each section and type of content its own rhythm.
Here are a few pages from the final publication.
Case Study.
#Book Design #LayoutDesign #Minimal Design
Holding one visual language across prose, data and illustration usually breaks at the diagrams - they want their own scale and the text grid rarely stretches that far. Did you build the layout around the diagrams and let the running text fall in, or the other way round?
Designed around the idea that data doesn't have to feel dry.
I wanted this presentation to feel more like an editorial publication than a conventional business deck.
Large statistics create the impact.
Typography creates the rhythm.
Data visualizations create the structure.
And the yellow accent gives the system its energy. One of my favourite parts of the presentation design is finding the balance between information and emotion.
This project gave me room to experiment with oversized numbers, structured data, and a restrained colour system.
Love the editorial feel here. Oversized typography and restrained yellow palette give the data real punch without adding clutter. Great balance of clarity and energy!
