Briefing

MoMu challenged us to create a longread that would spark interest in its Antwerp Six exhibition. I focused on Marina Yee, the group’s lesser-known member.

MY ROLE

I worked independently on the research, storytelling, visual and interaction design, and frontend development.

Process

Research & Story

After visiting MoMu and testing different story topics with four people, I chose to explore Marina’s life beyond fashion. I structured the story into five chapters, from her childhood to her work as an artist.

Visual design

Inspired by Marina’s own collages and typography, I combined photography, textures and mixed fonts into a layered visual style, while keeping the interface clean and easy to navigate.

Interaction design

I added chapter navigation, an interview and hover interactions that reveal garment details, encouraging visitors to explore the story at their own pace.

Frontend development

I built the responsive website in Astro, using CSS Grid Areas for the collage layouts and GSAP for animations and interactions.
