Synara: Neuroscience Lab Website
Synara is a website design for a neuroscience research lab that combines advanced laboratory work with environmental responsibility. I designed it to feel clean, scientific and thoughtful, with a clear message: “Driving the future of neuroscience.” (in the original Spanish: “Impulsando el futuro de la neurociencia.”)
The look is minimal: a dark macro image of neurons on the home page, a simple white menu bar with the logo in electric blue, and blue buttons that make the main actions easy to find. Blue is used sparingly, so it stands out against the black, white and gray.
The home page has a short description of the lab and two clear buttons: “Explore our research” and “More about Synara.” The menu has five sections: Home, Research, Neuroscience, Publications and About us.
The Research page shows studies in a horizontal gallery. Each card has a photo, a short title and a year, like “Early Alzheimer’s markers detectable 20 years before diagnosis” and “Meditation and structural changes in the prefrontal cortex.” A thin blue progress line shows how far the visitor has scrolled. The page is presented on a desktop monitor mockup with a tilted angle to add depth.
The site is written in Spanish for its audience.
A concept website that makes advanced neuroscience research feel clear, human and modern. Designed and built in Framer.

The challenge
Self-initiated concept. Research institutions often communicate complex science through dense, dated websites. The goal was to design a site that presents neuroscience research clearly while keeping a human, editorial feel.

My process
I built the visual direction around dark, organic neural imagery to evoke the subject without literal clichés. I defined a simple navigation (Research, Neuroscience, Publications, About) so visitors reach papers and studies in one click. Portraits and a horizontal research gallery add a human layer to the science. Prototyped in Figma and built in Framer.

The result
A fully designed and responsive concept site: home, research gallery and navigation system, ready to be adapted to a real institution. [Live Framer link]
