The Things We Never Said is a fiction story I wrote about family, childhood, love, and healing. Inspired by the ways difficult experiences can shape our understanding of love, the story follows a young girl growing up in a toxic home and learning to redefine what love means to her. I wrote this story to explore the things we carry silently—and the healing that can come from finally facing them.

Design That Tells a Story
Not every website should feel like a story, but when the experience itself is part of the product, storytelling design can transform a landing page into something people remember.
Instead of simply presenting information, this approach guides visitors through a narrative. Layered visuals, editorial layouts, textured backgrounds, collages, illustrations, and thoughtful composition create emotion before a single paragraph is read.
This style works especially well for:
– travel and photography courses;
– creative education;
– wellness and mindfulness programs;
– personal brands with a strong philosophy;
– premium signature courses where the experience matters as much as the content.
The goal isn’t to add complexity – it’s to use design to support the story, strengthen the brand, and make the offer more memorable.
This is just perfect
First full week of September, I'm putting the finishing touches on Oure, a wellness site concept sitting somewhere between Noom's confidence and Headspace's calm. Used warm earthy palette, serif style font to do the emotional heavy lifting, and a water motif built entirely through motion despite not including the use of the color blue. Dropping full build soon.
Skipping blue entirely for a wellness site is a bold constraint, most brands in that space lean on it by default. What almost went the other direction before you settled on the earthy palette?
Wrote an original book chapter, exploring storytelling, character development, and narrative writing.
