Shortkings Club — Brand & Website (In Progress) Client: Shortkings Club Role: Web Designer / Framer Developer Status: TBA Shortkings Club is a brand built around a simple promise: helping creators make real money from short-form content. I'm designing and developing the full site and visual identity from the ground up, giving the brand a bold, confident look to match its message. Full case study coming soon as the project wraps up.

kobielak.pl (http://kobielak.pl) — Personal Portfolio, Design & Development Client: Self (kobielak.pl (http://kobielak.pl)) Role: Web Designer / Framer Developer Timeline: 2026 Deliverables: Full site design, custom 3D rotating logo, micro-interactions, project showcase system, process section, responsive build Challenge & Scope As a freelance Framer developer, my own site had to do double duty: sell the work, and prove the craft at the same time. A portfolio that just lists projects in a grid doesn't say much about how someone actually builds — so the goal was to make the site itself the strongest case study, with the kind of motion and detail I'd want a client to see before we ever talk. The brief I set for myself was simple to state and harder to execute: no template, no stock Framer effects, and every interaction had to feel deliberate rather than decorative. Approach & Implementation I designed and built the entire site myself, treating the homepage as a single flow — from first impression, through proof of work, through process, to a clear call to action. A Custom 3D Rotating Logo as the Hero Instead of a static wordmark or a stock illustration, the hero features a custom-built 3D logo that continuously rotates in place, catching light across its faceted surface. It's the first thing a visitor sees, and it's built to signal immediately that this isn't a template site — it's a small piece of engineering in itself. Micro-interactions Throughout Small details carry a lot of the site's personality: a cursor-following dotted trail links the logo to the page below, project cards and service cards reveal supporting imagery on hover, and the active nav link underlines in-place rather than jumping. None of these rely on Framer's default effects — each was built and tuned by hand. A Project Showcase Built for Skimming and Depth Selected work is presented as large, image-led cards (including the Monika Chrustek and Coffie projects) that let a visitor browse quickly, while still giving each project room to breathe rather than cramming everything into a dense grid. A Transparent Process Section Rather than only showing polished outcomes, the site walks visitors through how a project actually happens — Discovery, Design, Develop, Launch — with short, honest descriptions of what happens at each stage, including the fact that everything is built by hand in Framer rather than assembled from pre-made blocks. Services, Framed as Outcomes The services section (Design, No-code development, Identity and content) pairs each offering with a short supporting image and one clear sentence of value, keeping the section scannable without feeling like a generic list of capabilities. A Confident Close The site ends on a full-bleed, gradient-lit call-to-action panel — "Ready to build something great?" — paired with direct contact options, keeping the final impression bold rather than trailing off with a plain contact form. Results A fully self-designed and developed portfolio that functions as its own proof of skill A custom 3D rotating logo used as the site's signature visual element A cohesive set of hand-built micro-interactions replacing default Framer effects A project showcase and process section that build trust before a client ever reaches out A confident, distinctive site that reflects the same craft clients can expect from a project built with me kobielak.pl (http://kobielak.pl) was built to answer one question before it's even asked: if this is what my own site looks like, imagine what I can do with yours.

Coffie — Coffee Shop & Roastery Website (Concept Project) Client: Personal / Concept Project Role: Web Designer / Framer Developer Timeline: July–August 2026 Deliverables: Full site design, storytelling scroll sections, custom hover interactions, parallax image reveals, typography system, responsive build Challenge & Scope Coffie is a self-directed concept project imagining the website for a coffee shop and roastery that sources, roasts, and brews everything in-house. The goal wasn't just to make a pretty landing page — it was to design a site that could actually sell the feeling of good coffee: warm, tactile, unrushed, with enough atmosphere that a visitor could almost smell it. Rather than a generic "hero + menu + contact" template, the brief I set for myself was to build a site structured like a story — from the bean's origin to the cup in your hands — using scroll, imagery, and typography to carry that narrative. Approach & Implementation I designed and built the entire site myself in Framer, treating the homepage as a single continuous journey rather than a stack of disconnected sections. A Warm, Editorial Visual Language The palette leans into deep espresso browns and near-black backgrounds, paired with a warm serif typeface for headlines. Large, high-contrast photography of espresso extraction, beans, and brewing does most of the talking — text is kept minimal and confident. From Seed to Cup: A Scroll-Driven Story The site's centerpiece is a scrolling narrative section — "From seed to your cup" — that walks the visitor through sourcing, roasting, and brewing using staggered, offset images that reveal and reposition as you scroll. It's built to feel like flipping through a coffee journal rather than browsing a product list. Custom Hover Interactions Buttons like "More about us" use a custom liquid/blob hover effect instead of a standard state change — a small detail that reinforces the tactile, organic feel of the brand rather than looking like a stock component. Full-Bleed Photography & Pacing Sections alternate between full-width statement photography (close-up pours, roasted beans) and quieter text-led moments, giving the page rhythm instead of a constant wall of imagery. Typography & Tone A pairing of a classic serif for emotive headlines ("Coffee can take you to many places") with a clean sans for supporting copy keeps the site feeling premium and editorial rather than like a typical local-business template. Results A fully self-designed and developed concept site built end-to-end in Framer A scroll-driven "seed to cup" storytelling section that replaces a standard about page A custom liquid hover interaction on key CTAs A cohesive warm, dark visual identity built around photography and serif typography A page built to prove that even a "simple" coffee shop site can carry real narrative and motion craft Coffie was built as a showcase of how far a small business site can be pushed — using story, pacing, and small interaction details to make a coffee shop feel like a considered brand rather than a template.

Monika Chrustek Portfolio, Design & Development Client: Monika Chrustek Role: Web Designer / Framer Developer Timeline: May–June 2026 Deliverables: Full site design, custom gallery components, hover/click-to-expand interactions, light-to-dark mode transition, motion system, responsive build, image optimization Challenge & Scope Monika Chrustek is a photographer known for atmospheric, analog-leaning work — much of it shot for music artists (Chivas, Szpaku) in staged, cinematic settings. She needed a portfolio that didn't just display images in a grid, but felt like an extension of her photography itself: moody, tactile, and unhurried, with room for each shot to breathe. The brief was to design and build the site end-to-end in Framer — no template, no existing design system to inherit. Every layout decision, interaction, and transition had to be built from scratch around the photography, not around it. Approach & Implementation I owned both the design and the development, working directly in Framer rather than handing off a static design first. That let me test interactions and pacing in the browser as I built, rather than guessing how a mockup would feel in motion. A Gallery Built Around the Photos, Not a Grid Rather than a conventional thumbnail grid, I built a custom horizontal gallery where a single image expands on hover to reveal detail, with a click-through into a full case view — "hover to expand, click to expand" as the guiding interaction. This kept the homepage from feeling like a wall of thumbnails while still letting visitors browse quickly. Light-to-Dark Scroll Transition As the visitor scrolls from the hero into the work section, the site transitions from a light background into a dark, near-black theme with a subtle starfield texture — mirroring the mood shift in Monika's more staged, artificial-light photography. This wasn't a toggle; it's a scroll-driven environment change built to feel cinematic rather than mechanical. Typography & Tone Bold serif display type for the name and headlines, paired with a plain sans for supporting text, gives the site an editorial feel closer to a photo book than a typical portfolio template. Motion & Micro-interactions Image reveals, hover states, and section transitions were all custom-built rather than relying on Framer's default effects, keeping the pacing consistent across the homepage, the works index, and individual case pages. Performance & Structure Given the site is almost entirely image-driven, careful image sizing and loading were essential to keep the experience fast despite the density of high-resolution photography. Results A fully custom-designed and developed portfolio site built end-to-end in Framer A distinctive gallery interaction (hover/click to expand) that replaces the standard thumbnail grid A scroll-driven light-to-dark transition that reflects the tonal range of the photography itself An editorial typographic system suited to a photography-first audience A fast, image-heavy site that stays smooth despite high-resolution content Monika now has a portfolio that reads less like a template and more like a curated photo book — built to let the work lead, with design and motion in service of the images rather than competing with them.
