Brand design has been really fun lately.
Here's a glimpse of a few recent projects, as I try to find the time to build out full portfolio pieces. 😅
That resort mark moving into the pool shot sells the whole mood in two seconds flat, Jitter was clearly worth learning. Is the portfolio backlog piling up because paid work keeps winning out, or is it more the classic struggle to make time for your own stuff?
Great month. Contra was the highlight for sure
Most companies need a great website fast.
The problem is, "fast" usually means cutting corners.
I don't.
Here's how I build and launch a website in one week without sacrificing quality.
I only take on one project at a time. If it's your week, you have my full attention. That focus keeps everything moving.
Before I start building, I gather every asset, piece of copy, and reference I'll need. We align on the direction early with moodboards and inspiration, so there are no surprises halfway through.
I also build directly in Framer from day one. Clients actually really love seeing their live website immediately. They can click through it, experience it, and leave feedback on something that already feels real. It also removes the extra design to development handoff that often adds days or even weeks.
After launch, I stick around for another week to make sure everything runs smoothly and fix any small issues.
A clear process creates room for better design.
And that's where I spend my time. Crafting the details, polishing interactions, and making the website feel like a product, not just a collection of pages.
Having a clear process for sure makes room for better design. What you wrote really resonates with me Natália.
