Crosswind Flight Academy | Aviation Training Platform
Crosswind is a modern digital experience for a flight academy based at Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona. I built the platform to transform the traditional flight-school website into something that feels aspirational, premium, and designed around the excitement of becoming a pilot.
The experience guides prospective students from discovering the academy and exploring flight training options through understanding the path toward earning their license. I focused heavily on visual storytelling, clear information architecture, responsive behavior, and conversion-focused UX that makes taking the first step toward flight training feel straightforward.
The result is a fast, immersive aviation website that balances strong visual direction with practical usability, giving Crosswind a digital presence that feels as polished and exciting as the experience it sells.
Noise Reveal, a premium reveal component for Framer
I built a component that gives Framer sites cinematic reveals for images, video and live layouts. It has a soft, film-like edge with glow and grain, and can play on load, on view, from a variant or scrubbed by scroll.
It’s built for production: the reveal is prepared before it scrolls in, it’s accessible with reduced-motion support, it falls back when WebGL isn’t available, and pages stay plain HTML when nothing is moving.
Launched on the Framer Marketplace. Open to custom Framer and interaction work.
The WebGL fallback and reduced-motion support are the parts most reveal effects skip, so it's great to see them called out. Does the fallback keep some of the grain edge with CSS, or does it drop to a simple fade?
Green for me, and I'd bet on it converting better too. The red version is loud in the way every food app is loud, while the green makes the burger the hero and the screen instantly recognizable in a feed. The green background also gives the white FLAVOR POP type far more contrast, so the message lands a beat faster.
