Selected works

Bauplan

2024 ‣ Brand, Website ‣ 12 weeks

Bauplan is a San Francisco based startup that transforms complex data infrastructure processes into a few lines of code.

While in stealth mode, the team asked me to refresh their logo and website. We envisioned a playful Bauhaus look with modern elements. Once the design was ready, I developed the website in Framer.

Almost a year after, Bauplan got out of stealth mode and was able to secure $7.6m in funding.
