This is the book-direct section from DUSK.
The only real objection to booking direct is that guests trust the platform they already use, so this section answers it with numbers instead of words: the same five nights priced three ways, with the platform fee in red next to a green zero. The footnote is deliberate, the figures are an illustration within the fee ranges Airbnb and VRBO publish, not a promise, which is what keeps an owner out of trouble for running it.

A great reminder that good design is about more than just delivering what’s asked. It’s about listening closely, challenging thoughtfully, exploring possibilities, and turning feedback into better outcomes.
Really appreciate this kind feedback from Colin Brown at Anita. Grateful for the trust, the collaboration, and the opportunity to create meaningful work together. 🙌
Yeah, the part about challenging thoughtfully really hits. Good design usually gets better when there’s that back and forth with the client.
Retro-futurism has always been a fun direction for us, and this was one of the first projects where we really went all in on it.
We created Alex Devine as a fictional web developer and built the whole identity around that old-school vision of the future, CRT screens, terminal interfaces, dithering, experimental typography, and a bit of Y2K nostalgia.
From there, we turned the concept into a full digital experience: the brand identity, portfolio, resume, and Devolio, a Framer template built around the same visual language.
What stands out to you most? The typography, the CRT direction, the identity, or the overall art direction?
Nice work
Earlier this year, I redesigned Orbital Catering. (One of the leading catering companies in Manhattan).
Their clients are some very well known enterprise companies, and they came to me because they looked like it was still 2010 and like a designer had never touched their website...
I gave them new positioning, a new website, and a rebrand that reflected their scale and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, made the company stand out in their space
Most catering websites I looked at during the project looked almost indistinguishable from each other, with no real design language and just boring (which definitely isn’t a sign of being enterprise-level).
2 months after launch, they hit RECORD sales and improved every meaningful metric (bookings, direct orders, time on page, scroll depth)
This is one of my most successful client cases this year, and I can confidently say that design made the difference and took them to the next level.
The whole journey and the results were measured.
I’m incredibly proud of this case because it shows, in a very concrete way, how much the right design matters for a serious business ❤️
+1 case study in the bag 😁
Good work🔥👏👏
