A full-stack multi-vendor e-commerce platform with separate storefront, seller, and admin experiences. Built with React, React Router, and Recharts on the frontend and Node/Express + MongoDB on the backend, with JWT auth and rate-limited APIs. Sellers manage their own catalog and orders through a dedicated dashboard while admins oversee the marketplace — all wrapped in a polished, purple-accented storefront with product browsing, cart, and checkout flows.

Hey Contra Community! 👋
Excited to share my latest Squarespace project, Vera Collective, a unique online space dedicated to fostering meaningful live conversations and genuine human connection. This project was a fantastic opportunity to push the boundaries of Squarespace's design capabilities, especially with the new Finish Layer tools.
The Vision Behind Vera Collective
Vera Collective was born from a desire to create a serene, inviting digital sanctuary where individuals can engage in authentic dialogue and shared understanding. The design needed to reflect this ethos: sophisticated, minimalist, and deeply engaging.
Design Highlights & Finish Layer in Action:
1. Bold, Immersive Aesthetic:
I opted for a striking dark theme with elegant typography to create an immediate sense of depth and focus. This bold choice helps to draw users into the content, emphasizing the intimacy of live conversations.
2. Strategic Use of Block Transforms:
To achieve a dynamic yet refined layout, I extensively utilized Block Transforms. Notice how certain sections, like the prominent "Who This Space Is Not For" area, use subtle transformations to break the grid and add visual interest without compromising readability. This allowed for a more artistic and less conventional presentation of important information.
3. Responsive Stacks for Seamless Experience:
Ensuring a flawless experience across all devices was paramount. I leveraged Stacks to meticulously arrange content blocks, guaranteeing that the site's unique visual hierarchy and interactive elements remain perfectly aligned and accessible, whether viewed on a desktop or a mobile device.
4. Subtle Block Animations for Engagement:
To enhance user engagement and guide their journey through the site, I incorporated Block Animations. These subtle, scroll-triggered effects introduce content gracefully, adding a layer of sophistication and interactivity that keeps the user immersed without being distracting.
5. Custom Typography with Font Uploads:
The brand identity of Vera Collective demanded a distinctive typographic voice. Through Font Uploads, I integrated custom fonts that perfectly complement the site's elegant and thoughtful aesthetic, reinforcing its unique brand personality.
Why Vera Collective Stands Out:
Vera Collective isn't just a website; it's an experience. By combining a bold design vision with the powerful new Finish Layer tools in Squarespace, I was able to craft a platform that is both visually stunning and highly functional, truly embodying its mission of connection and understanding.
I'd love for you to explore Vera Collective yourself and let me know what you think! Your feedback is invaluable.

Built an automotive demo for YUKTAAI — an AI Vehicle Advisor for used-car marketplaces.
The demo shows how a shopper can go from:
“I’m looking for a used car”
to a confident vehicle decision through smart qualification, relevant car recommendations, vehicle-history signals, comparison support, and dealer lead capture.
Instead of just showing hundreds of listings, YUKTAAI helps shoppers understand which vehicle fits their needs, which one they can trust, and what the next best step should be.
From browsing to buying confidence.

The journey from a vague used-car request to a confident recommendation sounds genuinely useful. Which vehicle-history signal was hardest to integrate into the advisor?
Designed and developed a modern Framer website for an online learning platform to showcase courses, engage learners, and increase enrolments. I created a responsive, user-friendly experience with intuitive navigation, clear course presentation, strategic calls to action, and a scalable CMS for easy content management. The website was optimized for performance, SEO, and accessibility, helping the platform establish a professional online presence and support long-term growth.
