Web Design
I designed and developed a custom website to showcase more than 30 years of the studio’s work, while reflecting the brand’s minimalist aesthetic. The final version is built on WordPress with custom code and offers a responsive experience across devices.
To drive traffic, we utilized social media (posts, reels, and stories) to highlight projects and guide audiences to the site,
The initiative drove a 79% increase in views and a 92% rise in visitors from 2022 to 2023, with engagement sustained through 2025.

Social Media
I managed the firm’s Instagram, curating a clear visual identity. The profile is structured using a grid system in which each row highlights a single project. Additional efforts included short-form video content, such as Reels documenting construction progress, and key architectural moments. I also coordinated media features and joint posts with collaborators to extend reach.
