References is a showcase. It collects several editorial brand sites, each with its own identity, built to demonstrate design and front-end range rather than to serve a single client.
Overview
Most portfolios show one look repeated. This one does the opposite: a set of distinct sample sites, each with its own typography, color and motion, sharing only a tasteful baseline. They are demonstrations, not live client engagements.
What it does
- Several self-contained brand sites spanning photography, hospitality and lifestyle
- A custom design token system per identity
- Motion with GSAP and smooth scrolling, plus view transitions between pages
- Editorial touches: grain, custom cursors and deliberate typography
Highlights
- Range over repetition: every sample has a different voice, not one theme reskinned.
- Motion with intent: scroll and page transitions that support the content.
- Built like production: shared packages for fonts, motion and UI primitives.
- A talking point: a live link that shows breadth in seconds.
