Overview

That One Friend is a small creative site-part portfolio energy, part experiment-living at thatonefriend.online. It is a place to try layout, motion, and voice in the browser without the constraints of a product roadmap.

I designed and built the experience end to end: visual direction, interaction details, and deployment. The project is a reminder that the web can still feel personal and a little unexpected.

Contributions

  • Defined the creative direction and tone for the standalone web presence
  • Designed and implemented the layout, typography, and motion in the browser
  • Shipped and hosted the site with a fast, reliable production setup
