Read/Design is a personal project that started as a way to keep my curiosity about design alive. Think of it as a digital library built from the books I've collected over the years. The idea is to share, every month in an Instagram post, the insights that stuck with me the most, with the goal of spreading knowledge and encouraging the reading of physical books.
Since sharing your process is the thing now, here's how this came together: I designed the graphics and website myself in the old-fashioned way, but the site itself was built in Claude Code with a Notion database behind it. Huge respect for developers. This build cost me two migraines and way too many tokens.

D'art Chocolate — Creating a More Delightful Chocolate Shopping Experience 🍫✨
The concept: reimagine the premium digital shopping experience for a local Vietnamese chocolate brand by turning product discovery into an enjoyable journey. The goal was to help customers easily discover the perfect chocolate product while showcasing the craftsmanship and story behind every handcrafted creation.
🚀 Bringing the vision to life: I redesigned D'art Chocolate's website to present its handcrafted chocolates more visually and intuitively. Instead of browsing through static collections, customers can explore products based on the moments they're celebrating or the flavors they love—creating a shopping journey that feels natural, inspiring, and enjoyable.
🛠️ Built with Squarespace + Finish Layer
Used Finish Layer capabilities to bring the chocolate experience to life. Created a dynamic product interaction where chocolates gently float and transition into the gift box
Block Animations — Added subtle motion and hover interactions to create a refined, engaging browsing experience without distracting from the products.
Mobile Experience — Instead of simply scaling down the desktop version, the mobile experience was carefully redesigned with optimized spacing, content flow, and interactions to create a seamless shopping journey across screen sizes.
Rather than simply displaying products, this website, through thoughtful layouts, intuitive navigation, and engaging interactions, guides visitors from discovery to purchase.
🎨 Tools: Squarespace · Finish Layer · Figma · Gemini
