Nikolas Type
Agency: I like to play
Nikolas Type recently launched the new beautiful variable typeface ​“Solare”. I helped Nikolas build his new website including an interactive typeface explorer, allowing visitors to play with the size, weight and intensity of Solare.The website is not just immersive, it’s also a headless Shopify shop. Setting up licenses, downloads and payment is handled in Shopify, while general website updates are handled in a headless CMS. The website is static generated (handled with a webhook from the CMS), making the site ultra fast and perfectly optimized for SEO and many visitors.Be sure to visit the Directory page too — to see some of the many great designers using the typefaces. Credits to Jingqi Fan who did the original design and V1 of the website.

Cenitz Studio
Agency: Cenitz Studio
Cenitz is a multidisciplinary design consultancy, working at the convergence of business strategy, brand, digital and content.They asked me to develop their new creative portfolio. The site is static generated using a headless CMS. It’s flexible, fast and optimized, though also full of animations and highly customized UI elements.The website was quickly awarded by Awwwards among others.
