Building the Full Dorothy Experience

What is Dorothy?

Dorothy is a subscription-based design studio built on a simple idea: creativity should feel deeply human, yet move at the speed of AI. I led the full brand and digital experience — from strategy and narrative to web and product design — shaping a bold, modern system that conveys clarity and delivers efficiency throughout the journey.

The Challenge

Startups needed clarity. Agencies needed consistency. Both needed speed. Our challenge was to design a digital ecosystem — not just a website — capable of 7articulating Dorothy’s unique value instantly while supporting an end-to-end workflow for discovery, conversion and production.

Strategic Foundations

We built a human-tech narrative rooted in the idea of a “magical assistant” — intelligent, approachable and crafted with intention. This personality shaped every layer: the visual identity, the tone of voice, the IA, the content logic and the UX flows. Bold colour, expressive type and a modern modular system became the backbone of the Dorothy experience.

Designing the Website

We explored multiple homepage directions and tested structures with real users to refine clarity, hierarchy and rhythm. The final design balances expressiveness with usability — a sequence of modular narrative blocks, editorial spacing and card-based components that carry the brand’s story from top to bottom.
The finished experience: bold, elegant and designed to guide the user with confidence.
