Studio Krave

Built as a portfolio destination for an independent creative studio. The brief: feel like a gallery, behave like an editorial. Custom cursor reveals image grain, scroll-bound section transitions, project case studies anchored to a sticky timeline.

The Problem

An independent creative studio needed a portfolio that felt as considered as the work it showcased. Generic template sites flattened their projects into thumbnails and gave visitors no sense of the studio's pace or taste.

The Solution

A gallery-like microsite where motion carries the brand: a custom cursor that reveals image grain, scroll-bound section transitions, and case studies anchored to a sticky timeline. Every interaction was tuned to feel slow and deliberate rather than flashy.

What I Built

• →Custom cursor with painterly image-grain reveal
• →Scroll-bound section transitions built on GSAP and Lenis
• →Case studies anchored to a sticky timeline
• →Optimized image pipeline for a fast first paint

Highlights

• →Sticky timeline navigation
• →Painterly cursor reveal
• →Sub-1.5s LCP

Outcome

• →Gave the studio a portfolio that presents its work with gallery-level care
• →Built with performance and maintainability in mind, so new case studies slot in without a redesign
