Squeaky — agency website design

The Squeaky website was a true team effort — involving the creative director, senior designers, and company leadership, each bringing strong opinions on direction, tone, and visual identity. The challenge wasn't just designing a website; it was functioning as the design hub for a multi-stakeholder process, absorbing every input and translating it into a coherent, buildable outcome in Adobe XD.

With so many decision-makers in the room, the real design problem was maintaining forward momentum. I was responsible for advancing the site at every stage — keeping the file current, integrating feedback loops, and ensuring the work never stalled waiting on consensus.

01

Wireframing

Translated early concept discussions into low and mid-fidelity wireframes in Adobe XD — creating a shared visual language the whole team could react to and align around before committing to any direction.

02

Colour testing

Ran iterative colour explorations directly in XD, testing palette combinations against the brand's voice and presenting options to the creative director and leadership for decision-making.

03

Image testing & grid

Defined the image treatment direction — scale, crop logic, and integration with the grid system — ensuring visual consistency across all sections and both breakpoints.

04

Animation integration

Built interaction and animation prototypes directly inside Adobe XD — documenting transitions, hover states, and scroll behaviours as part of the handoff specification.

05

QA

Participated in quality assurance review of the live site — cross-checking the build against the XD designs, flagging visual discrepancies, and verifying animation behaviour and responsive breakpoints across devices.

Visual Language

Colour, type & grid

The Squeaky brand system is built around a high-contrast palette, bold editorial typography, and a rigid grid — communicating authority, energy, and creative confidence in equal measure.

Grid

12-column, full-bleed

Sections break the grid intentionally for impact — large typography overlapping image bleed creates the signature Squeaky editorial energy.

Motion

Split-text animations

Headlines animate in via split-text translateY — words dropping into position with 0.75s easing. Hover states on nav swap language EN/ES with stroke outlines.

Voice

Bold, bilingual, direct

All-caps section headers, EN/ES language pairs, and a stat-bar identity marker — "2 COUNTRIES · 25 YEARS INDEPENDENT · 99% HUMAN" — give the brand its personality.

A collaborative process with a single point of execution

The team included the creative director, senior designers, and company leadership. My role was to be the person who made it all move — gathering every input and keeping the design file advancing at every stage.
