Luxury e-commerce shouldn't feel like a crowded marketplace. When designing for brands rooted in heritage like FYS, the digital experience needs to mirror the physical feeling of craftsmanship.
I built this design around three pillars:
A moody, immersive palette: Deep tones that instantly evoke a sense of history, scent, and texture.
Respect for the products: Giving intricate items like prayer rugs, artisan perfumes, and carved wall panels room to breathe.
Modern typography pairings: Balancing classic themes with sharp, contemporary layouts.
The lesson: Designing for heritage brands isn't about looking old-fashioned—it's about making timeless traditions feel relevant for modern living.

I just finalised a brand evolution and website migration for Virtuoso.
500+ CMS items and 150+ static pages moved from Webflow to Framer.
Alongside that, I helped shape the brand across web, campaigns, product and motion.
The impact:
• Helped shift 80% outbound to 80% inbound
• Built a clearer and more consistent brand presence
• Made a complex AI product easier to understand, trust and buy
I’ve been working with Virtuoso as their design partner on a monthly retainer, helping the brand evolve as the company grows.
500+ CMS items is not a small migration, that's the kind of project that eats weeks just in QA. What almost went wrong during the Webflow to Framer move?
