Manuka Ink Website

UX/UI Designer, Figma & Framer Expert

Manu, a tattoo artist deeply inspired by nature and organic forms, needed a website to showcase her work, share her story, and create an immersive entry point into her artistic universe.

The goal: a clean, evocative design that highlights tattooing as an art form rather than just a service.

We started by gathering visual inspiration: nature’s textures, plant shapes, soft earthy tones contrasted with bold accents. The goal was to get a feel for Manu’s artistic identity and how that could translate into web form.

Mapped out essential site sections: About Me, Portfolio, Blog / Stories, Contact / Book Now. Emphasis was placed on clean navigation so visitors know where to go immediately. Designed hierarchy to highlight artworks, storytelling, and call-to-actions without clutter.

In Figma, I built the site visuals: curated tattoo photography, chosen typography, white space, image grids, gallery views. Focused on organic elements, rounded corners, subtle textures, breathing space, to echo the natural approach in Manu’s work.

I designed a one-page style structure featuring:

A hero section with bold studio name and tagline.

A gallery/portfolio section to showcase tattoo artwork.

An about section to highlight the artist’s story.

A contact / booking section for easy inquiries.

Created interactive prototypes to show flow between sections. Hover effects, transitions, visible booking buttons. Ensured responsive design so the site is just as impactful on mobile as on desktop.

A website concept that reflects Manu’s identity as an artist not just as a service provider.

A clear narrative: visitor can feel the story behind the work, see past pieces, understand the artist.

An intuitive path to booking: visible “Book Now” button, contact form, sections that lead visitors towards action.

A polished Figma deliverable ready for development or for expansion into Webflow, Framer, or any platform.
