The process

The process

My process started with quick explorations of photography and layout, followed by getting an understanding of the brand and its values.


With the support of the Creative Director, we translate the brand values into design principles to guide and measure design decisions. This foundation allowed me to explore various aspects of the site in depth, from navigation to homepage structure and key interactive elements.


My process always start by understand the level of premium we are trying to achieve that aligns with the brand values. The meaning of premium for you might be different to others.

I start to explore the photography, play with layouts and hero to understand the level of energy that we want to bring visual.


Understand and expand the typography across different levels, how it shows up as headline, subheading, paragraph and captions.
