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 Theory site clearly leans into big typographic moments rather than hiding behind a template, which is a hard balance to strike without the portfolio pieces themselves getting visually crowded out. How did you decide where the editorial flourishes had to stop so the work stayed the focus?
The way Theory balances expressive type and motion with generous breathing room is really sharp. Those device mockups make the responsive thinking tangible without turning the case study into a wall of screenshots.
Huge congrats on hitting $10k well deserved! The project feels bold, confident, and really memorable. Love how the visual direction stands out without losing that polished feel 🔥
AI fashion editorial. I used a selfie, a photo of the Nour Hammour "Sandy" coat, and leveraged GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst + Seedance 2.5. That Nour Hammour Paris coat is on my wishlist.
