VELI STUDIO WEBSITE REDESIGN


Redefining Veli Studio’s Online Presence: From Conceptual Showcase to Strategic Clarity

OVERVIEW
Veli Studio’s previous website leaned heavily into a conceptual and artistic presentation, which, while visually striking, created friction in user experience and failed to clearly communicate the studio’s capabilities to a broader audience. The redesign sought to create a more streamlined, intuitive, and brand-aligned digital experience while maintaining the studio's creative edge.

MY ROLE
Art Director 
  • Designed the v1/base concept of the new site—structure, layout, and visual direction
  • Oversaw design handoff and partnered with STRGL to further develop and implement the site
  • Provided direction on visual consistency, interactivity, and UX clarity throughout development

OBJECTIVES
  • Shift perception from purely artistic to strategic and refined
  • Improve clarity of communication and structure of case studies
  • Enhance usability and responsiveness for diverse audiences

PROCESS
  • Conducted internal audit of the previous site to identify friction points in user flow
  • Defined new structure and navigation logic with a clear visual hierarchy
  • Collaborated with STRGL to create a cleaner design system using modular layouts and bold typography
  • STRGL overlooked the full development to ensure fidelity to concept

OUTCOME
  • A fully responsive website that presents Veli Studio as sharp, strategic, and client-ready
  • A smoother content presentation and user journey
  • Positive feedback from both new and returning users, with better engagement metrics
