Portfolio website for Daniel Cubas — designer, photographer & visual director
Designed and built a static portfolio site for Daniel Cubas, a Spanish visual director working across photography, graphic design, and short film. The site presents his work in three sections — Photography, Design, and Short Films — through an editorial, image-first layout that lets the work speak without competing UI noise.
What I did:
Developed a custom design system from scratch, derived from an existing editorial flyer the client had, extending its typographic and layout logic into a full responsive site
Built the site with plain HTML/CSS/JS — no framework, no build step, no dependencies — so it loads instantly and is trivially cheap to host (GitHub Pages)
Designed a content pipeline where the client adds new projects by dropping images and a markdown file into a folder, with zero code editing required
Established strict visual rules: a monochrome palette (black/bone) with a single accent color used in exactly three places, two-typeface system (Oswald for headlines, Inter for body), no icons, no rounded corners, no shadows — treating photography itself as the primary material rather than illustration
Handled project detail pages with embedded video support (Google Drive) for the short film section, and a responsive image-grid home page
Result: A fast, maintenance-free portfolio that the client can update independently, with a distinct, disciplined visual identity that avoids generic "agency" design clichés.

Amazing bro. Have you used Framercommerce? or any other similar tool?
I present to you "Syncra"
Our team came together around a simple problem: African fashion brands shouldn’t have to lose sales because their customers are stuck in DMs, sizing questions, payment confusion, or scattered order details.
That thinking became Syncra trning the journey from
discovery → conversation → order → dispatch into a more connected experience.
I really enjoyed working on the UI for this one, especially finding a balance between fashion, African identity, and a product experience that feels genuinely useful.
This is just the first flow. More to come.
working with the team at TavCorp to build this.
