Masonry — Case Study
Project Overview
Project: Masonry (Personal Project)
Type: CMS-Driven Image Gallery
Platform: Framer
Role: Design & Development
The Brief
Build a dynamic image gallery to explore Framer's masonry grid feature. The goal: a visually rich layout where all content is CMS-managed, not hardcoded.
The Challenge
Static image grids are easy. The real test is making a masonry layout that's both visually interesting and fully editable through the CMS—so content can scale without redesigning.
The Approach
Visual Direction
Dark theme with warm, amber-toned imagery. The almost black background lets the photographs command attention while the masonry rhythm creates movement and variety.
Technical Implementation
Built in Framer with:
Native masonry grid layout
CMS collection for all images
Scroll-triggered appear animations
Responsive across all breakpoints
The Pipeline
To speed up CMS population, I built a custom tool: drag a folder of images into a Lovable app, auto-upload to Supabase storage, format links in Google Sheets, sync directly to Framer CMS. No manual entry.
Results
Fully dynamic—swap images without touching the design
Scalable content pipeline
Smooth scroll animations
Responsive at every breakpoint
