Context
AHN Media is a creative media studio. Their current site did its job, but it felt static next to the energetic content the team produces. The brief I received was short and open: “I want the website to feel more dynamic and fresh.”
Directions
I designed two complete homepage demos, each a different answer to “dynamic and fresh”. Seeing the brand on real pages, with real content, let the client compare and decide in one review instead of several rounds of abstract feedback.
A/B
Same brand, same content, two different personalities
DIRECTION A
Dark & high-energy
A dark canvas with wavy coral edges, a live-event photo up front and the ASIAN Hustle NETWORK wordmark closing the page. Bold and nightlife-like.
DIRECTION B
Bold wordmark & bento grid / Client’s pick
Leads with an oversized AHN GROUP wordmark over a colorful bento grid of the studio’s work, with light and dark themes. More playful and modular, and the one the client chose.
Final design
Rolled out to every page.
Where media, access, and commerce become one platform.
Handoff
Handed over to AHN’s own developers, ready to build.
The client’s in-house team was building the site, so the handoff had to stand on its own. I organized the file so developers could find every page, state and reusable piece without me in the room.
What the dev team received:
Motion annotations
Hover, transitions, scroll and animations are annotated down to each small component, so developers build the motion right without guessing.
Reusable components
Buttons, menus, cards, chips, accordions and team blocks built as components with their states.
Light & dark themes
Every page designed in both themes from the same components, so switching is a token change, not a redesign.
Client review
“She asks the right questions, takes feedback well, and turns our ideas into work that reflects our vision.”
