I worked on a website for a Canadian director, starting with a pre-existing design provided by the client. The design followed a clean minimalist style, with a focus on showcasing his work — both video and photo projects. The development was done on Squarespace, and I had to go beyond the platform's standard settings to ensure the final site exactly matched the proposed design. This allowed me to preserve all the intended elements and nuances of the minimalist approach.

I worked on the development of a website on the Squarespace platform, where many design elements had to be implemented through custom code.

This allowed for greater flexibility and customization, enabling me to achieve the desired visual and functional outcomes that standard Squarespace settings couldn’t provide.
