ABOUT

Alicja’s Desktop

alicjabuchowicz.com is a creative portfolio disguised as a retro desktop operating system. It blends personality with functionality in a playful, interactive way. Visitors can drag desktop icons and open draggable windows, giving the site a nostalgic, OS-inspired interface. A standout feature is the built-in 24-hour radio station, Rawr Radio, which streams hand-picked tracks in themed segments—think Emo Hour, Funk-o-Matic, and Divorced Dad Rock.

Each project window opens like a file, with in-depth case studies on brands like Postie and Flossie, showcasing a decade of creative direction, branding, product development, and storytelling. The site feels alive—designed to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and reflect the creator’s multidisciplinary brain. It’s weird, fun, and completely original.

YEPP

Getyepp.co.uk is a sharp SaaS showcase site I built using the Astro parchitecture for lightning-fast performance, with GSAP micro-animations that make the software feel alive without overdoing it.

The old site was doing their cutting-edge product a disservice—seriously outdated and clunky—so this was about giving it a professional, modern face that actually matches their tech. The animations highlight key features and user flows smoothly, pulling visitors into demos and sign-up paths while keeping everything clear and conversion-focused. It now looks (and performs) like the sophisticated SaaS platform it really is.

International Students UK

Internationalstudentsuk.com is a fast, story‑driven travel website built as part of a complete digital rebrand. The site is powered by Astro for ultra‑fast loading and uses the GSAP animation library with custom micro‑animations to create a smooth, immersive browsing experience. The visual direction is entirely travel‑themed, supported by a new logo, brand guidelines, and a cohesive design system that keeps every page consistent and recognisable.

The layout and interactions were planned from a storyboard brand script, then translated into a user journey that guides visitors from initial curiosity through to key lead‑generation touchpoints. Design and animation choices were carefully balanced with usability and performance, so that the “wow” factor never gets in the way of clarity, accessibility, or future digital marketing campaigns.
