What do you get when you cross a disgruntled job seeker and a client specializing in job searches? A healthy dose of irreverence.
The identity of this website flies in the face of traditional job seeking ideals. Gone are the days when websites needed to look boring to be trusted. Plain is out, and playful is in.
Built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, Cumulus is the silver lining to the job seeker's rainy day.
As a portfolio for an rising artist, this website was designed with visuals squarely in mind. Emulating the distinctive white-cube aesthetic of New York galleries, the artist's work shines through.
Boring, static typefaces are exchanged in favor of experimental and dynamic type treatments.
Built using React and some custom hooks, the single page app is super light and can be cached at the edge — meaning a blazing fast website to suit the pace of the artist it represents.
A blog for helping up-and-coming coders learn the basics, this website needed to really nail the fundamentals. Blogs are notoriously tricky to design, and user experience is priority #1.
A simple color scheme and plain shapes like rectangles help combat information overload, aided by an entirely custom framework that's designed for deployment at the edge.
A progressive web app, the site uses modern caching techniques like service workers and CDNs to produce a blog that looks and feels as good as its content.
Terraling's website needed an overhaul. By removing tired graphics and outdated interactions, users of the site can comprehend and visualize data without excess visual strain.
A fresh design system that stays true to its roots helped inform the changes; new fonts, new faces, new tables and no traces of Bootstrap anywhere.
Transitioning from Ruby on Rails to React also helped offload computation from the server, allowing for faster load times and more dynamic visualizations. Linguistics never looked this good.
Web agencies need to strut their stuff. Built in collaboration with the in-house design team, the Alakoja website was created to represent the team's fluidity and guts. Brooklyn-born and Brooklyn-raised, the agency needed an experience that embodied both in-your-face and get-shit-done.
By using a strong column-based design system and almost-but-not-quite-Helvetica grotesks, the website takes this experience and runs with it.
Built to be deployed on the edge, it's written entirely in custom JavaScript. Blazing fast, and damn good looking.
