The Future in Black was built for Joy Fennell to hold a story that needed more than a standard portfolio site. Our goal from the start was to make the site feel archival and alive at once, part digital exhibit, part living brand presence, so every design decision was made to support that feeling rather than just present information.
We started with structure: how should a visitor move through this content, and what pace should that movement have? That question shaped our use of Finish Layer's block animations. Text reveals on scroll, so the story unfolds in beats instead of arriving all at once, closer to reading a book than scrolling a website. Images use hover interactions to invite a second look without pulling focus from the words around them.
From there we layered in movement. Shapes transform and shift position as the visitor scrolls, adding depth and a sense of motion that a static layout couldn't carry. This was the piece that took the most iteration, getting the timing and scale of these transforms to feel intentional rather than gimmicky meant testing several versions before landing on the current pacing.
Typography carried a lot of the brand's identity, so we uploaded Million and Inter Tight rather than relying on Squarespace's native font library. Million gives the site its editorial voice in headlines, and Inter Tight keeps body copy clean and legible against it.
The result is a site built on Squarespace's foundation, using Finish Layer's native tools alongside custom CSS and JS, pushed toward something that reads as custom, editorial, and specific to one person's story rather than a repeatable formula.

So excited to see Creative Intelligence 2026 by @Contra Labs out in the world!
At @Heed Collective , we had the pleasure of designing both the website and the report. We’re incredibly grateful for this collaboration!
Our creative exploration started with a question:
What does Creative Intelligence mean today?
We believe it lives at the intersection of creativity and analysis, imagination and insight.
We translated this into a visual story that begins in space — vast, dreamy, full of possibility — and gradually moves closer to Earth, grounding imagination in something tangible and human.
Huge congrats to the whole team, @Erin Horner, @Ben Huffman, @Mark Vassilevskiy, @Alex Karpodinis, @Stacy · Heed Collective, @Heed Collective , and the entire @Contra Labs team 👏
Incredible work, congrats!
Returning to foundational assets is always a valuable exercise in brand scalability. Currently, I am preparing and structuring the master delivery files for a new sub-brand—built upon a visual identity system I originally designed a couple of years ago. Designing adaptable brand frameworks from day one is what allows a business to expand seamlessly over time while maintaining complete visual coherence. Looking forward to sharing the final execution soon.

Clear results build trust. Patients know what their exam means and what to do next, and doctors spend less time explaining the same numbers.
I never see design like this before thats unique 🎉🎉🔥🔥
