The Brand Bar
A playful portfolio website built in Next.js for a creative design studio, based on their original visual direction. I handled the frontend development, responsive implementation and interactive details, with a strong focus on motion, transitions and keeping the experience as expressive as the brand itself.

The Challenge
Bringing a bold design to life
The Brand Bar came with a strong visual identity and a design that relied heavily on movement, oversized typography and playful interactions. The challenge was making all of that feel fluid in the browser without losing the character of the original concept.
A big part of the work was translating static design decisions into responsive, animated behaviour across the site, while keeping the experience usable and consistent on different screen sizes.

The Solution
Built to feel as playful as it looked
I developed the site in Next.js and focused heavily on the interactive layer — page transitions, motion, responsive behaviour and the small details that gave the design its personality.
One of the more custom pieces was a global music player built from scratch, designed to keep playing while users moved between pages and to feel like part of the site rather than a separate media control.
