Humble Auteur — Minimalist WordPress Portfolio for Writer & Artist
A custom WordPress portfolio for a fiction writer and artist working across prose, music and visual art.
The site was designed around a quiet, high-contrast editorial system: black, bone white and deep crimson, with wide margins, CODE typography for identity and navigation, and EB Garamond for long-form fiction.
I built a custom PHP theme without Elementor or other page builders, with dedicated spaces for the reading room, music archive, audiobook content and visual gallery. I also delivered a 20-minute walkthrough showing how to update audio, prose and images.
The project received a 5-star review and an unprompted bonus for the quality of the collaboration and final result.

Lovely work
A fresh digital identity, a premium workspace designed for creative professionals.
From an elegant, editorial-style website to a functional mobile app for bookings and studio management, the goal was to make every interaction feel as refined as the space itself.
Clean layouts, timeless typography and a deep green palette bring the whole experience together.
This looks super premium Kabir! Love how you carried the same refined, editorial feel from the website to the mobile app. The clean layouts and booking flow feel exactly like a high-end creative studio should - elegant but functional. The desktop + mobile mockups show the consistency really well. Great execution!
