Client: COLORSxSTUDIOS Role: Design Engineer / Lead Web Partner Scope: Strategy, UX/UI Design, Front-End Development, CMS Architecture Platform: Next.js, Sanity CMS, Vercel

COLORSxSTUDIOS is one of the most influential music and culture platforms in the world. After working with the team for several years, I was brought in to lead a full website redesign that focused on long-term scalability, editorial control, and performance, without compromising the brand’s minimalist identity.

This project required a partner who could operate across design, engineering, and strategy, not just execution.

Modernise the website without losing the restraint and clarity COLORS is known for

Enable the internal team to publish and iterate independently

Build a technical foundation that would scale with global traffic and content output

Improve performance and maintainability across devices

I worked as an embedded partner rather than a traditional vendor—owning decisions from concept through deployment.

A system-driven design language that balances flexibility with consistency

A modular front-end architecture allowing pages to evolve without rewrites

A custom Sanity CMS setup tailored to editorial workflows, not developers

Performance-first engineering, treating speed and reliability as core UX features

A clean, future-proof website aligned with a global creative brand

Significantly improved editorial autonomy, reducing reliance on developers

A platform that supports ongoing iteration, new formats, and scale

A long-term technical foundation that continues to evolve with the brand

This project reflects how I work with ambitious brands:

I bridge design vision and technical reality

I think in systems, not pages

I build platforms that scale quietly and reliably

I act as a long-term partner, not a short-term contractor

If you’re building a content-driven brand, platform, or product and need a site that feels considered, performs at scale, and won’t need rebuilding every year, this is the kind of work I do.
