MOLISB — Mónica Lisbeth

Mónica designs furniture and objects that are functional, accessible and built with social purpose. She already had her brand and content defined, but she needed a portfolio website that felt as considered as her work — and that stood out from a template. As my first client on Upwork, the goal was a bespoke, brand-led site delivered live and ready to share.

1. Translate her brand — functional, warm and human — into every part of the site.
2. Make her projects easy to browse and understand.
3. Create a memorable, distinctive first impression.
4. Build it responsive, fast and easy to maintain.
5. Deliver it live, hosted and ready to hand over.

I built the interface around her identity: a warm cream and burgundy palette, a rounded, humanist logotype, generous whitespace and an editorial rhythm. Every component — navigation, project grid, detail pages — was designed to feel calm, considered and unmistakably hers.

The centrepiece is an explorable home. Instead of a static banner, I turned Mónica's 3D renders into a top-down house laid out in the shape of the "MOLISB" letters, with clickable hotspots that reveal each piece of furniture — a "walk the house" experience. It makes the first scroll an interaction, not a poster, and shows her work in the context it's designed for.

I designed and built the whole site myself in HTML, CSS and JavaScript — the interactive hero, the responsive layout, the scroll animations and the detail pages — and shipped it live on Netlify. Design and development in one hand meant the final site matched the intent exactly, with nothing lost in handoff.

Translating someone else's brand into a living, coded product taught me to design interactions with meaning — the explorable house isn't decoration, it carries what Mónica's work is about. And working with a real client end to end sharpened how I scope, communicate and deliver.
