The Design Oracle is Live ✨ | Squarespace Make It Real Challenge
Ever wondered if that "final_FINAL_v4" file is actually the last one? Or if the client will ask to make the logo just a little bit bigger? Let the cards decide. 🔮
I’m thrilled to unveil The Design Oracle (or Design Arcana)—an interactive, mystical tarot experience created specifically for freelancers and designers to reveal the fate of their current projects.
This is my official submission for the Squarespace Make It Real Challenge. My goal was to completely break away from standard grid layouts and see how far I could push the creative boundaries using the new Finish Layer tools.
Here is how the magic works behind the scenes (without a single line of custom code):
Z-Axis & Overlapping: Used Fluid Engine to scatter the cards and floating stickers across the canvas, creating depth and a true "spread" feel.
Hover Reveals: Leveraged native image swap effects so users can organically "draw" a card just by exploring the screen.
Mobile Overrides: Rebuilt the entire chaotic desktop spread into a sleek, functional vertical stack for perfect mobile UX.
After over a decade in UI/UX and brand design, I still believe the best projects start with pure creativity before locking into rigid systems. This was incredibly fun to build.
Will you pull "The Golden Client" or "The Wheel of Feedback"?
Take a deep breath, align your pixels, and draw your card here:

I'd love to hear which destiny you got in the comments! 👇
Awesome work🔥👏👏
Impressive design. The branding feels strong and consistent.
Platte River Pizza Co. is a conceptual eCommerce experience for a Nebraska-based, farm-to-table frozen pizza brand rooted in Midwest values. Inspired by the Platte River, prairie landscapes, local agriculture, faith, and family, the site blends warm storytelling with modern commerce through editorial layouts, custom illustrations, textured elements, and bold product photography.
The goal was to create a brand that feels authentic, elevated, and distinctly Nebraskan while making online shopping intuitive, engaging, and memorable. Built with Squarespace's Finish Layer tools and absolutely no code 🙌
The inspiration for this site stems from my husband and I's current obsession with perfecting a sourdough pizza crust and being crazy enough to even think about putting ourselves back into the restaurant industry, hahaha.
Finish Layer Tools Used:
Block Animations - hover effects (hero section pizza builder), loop effects (Shop Our Pizzas blowing in the wind effect), hover effect (makeshift location lightbox in where to find us section)
Block Transformations - opacity used on background images and emblems, positioning + scaling buttons to fit certain areas, rotating graphics and images to give them a layering effect over sections
