Things I Did
I led the design implementation and CMS integration for the project. I built custom CMS collections for services, projects, and team members, ensuring scalability for future growth. I handled the interactive animations, page transitions, and responsive layout, carefully aligning them with the brand’s personality. I also collaborated with the client on fine-tuning the structure and visuals to align closely with their creative strategy.
