I tried something a little more playful in my new visual portfolio web design.
Ciela — a window holding sky, drifting clouds, art, and a little lightness.
In the hero section, a white window frame sits at the center, with clouds drfting quietly inside and drawing the viewer's eye toward it. On hover, selected artworks appear at random, hinting at the artist's visual language before the gallery is revealed.
I used Sapphire Blue to ground the softness and keep the design from feeling too fairy-like, while giving the website a stronger visual language.
The rest of the site is planned around the same motion language — elements drifting gently in and out, like coulds passing by.
Still working on this one. Looking forward to seeing it all come together!

A little throwback to one of our favorite collaborations with Lion Pose! 🧡
We worked with the founders to bring their vision to life through core brand identity, logo, and packaging design, creating a bold, playful visual language that feels fresh in the skincare space.
So lovely to see Lion Pose grow from its early days to the shelves of Sephora, with our packaging work recognized at the 2024 Dieline Awards!
Nice work

Different products need different shopping experiences.
When exploring Shopify store design, I like thinking about how the brand, product category, and customer journey should influence the final layout.
For example:
→ A home decor store needs strong visual presentation and an editorial feel.
→ A coffee equipment store needs clear categories and product information that helps customers compare options.
→ A fitness store needs organized collections and a straightforward path to the right equipment.
The goal isn't to use the same design for every business.
It's to understand what each store needs and build an experience around it.
These concepts explore three different directions, but they share one principle:
Good e-commerce design should make products easier to understand and easier to shop.
Which of these three store styles would you be most interested in exploring?
Great point. I’d pick the home decor one, editorial layouts really sell the vibe. 🔥
