full-stackwithtaste.made for brands that actually care.
i build sites for fashion startups, indie cafés, bands, art studios — small contemporary brands who'd rather not look like everyone else.
not a dev shop. not a design agency. one person, both ends, obsessive about the seam between them.

about / 01
vdmri ships products that look like they were made by someone who cared — because they were. one studio, both ends — code, design system, type — usually in that order. sometimes in reverse, depending on the day and the espresso.

what i do — the short list.
four things, done extremely well
/01
brand sites
marketing pages that read like a magazine spread, ship like a product. one-pagers, full sites, lookbooks.
↗
/02
e-commerce
shopify hydrogen, custom checkouts, inventory dashboards. fast carts, slow scrolls.
↗
/03
interactive
webgl, scroll choreography, custom animations. when the experience is the product.
↗
/04
art direction
naming, identity, type pairing, palette. when you don't have a designer and need someone with taste in the room.

selected work — 2024 / 2026
the folio. not a grid.
a handful of projects, told the way they deserve. each one shipped end-to-end — design, build, deployment, the parts no one asks about.
/01 — fashion
atelier nō spring lookbook.
a contemporary womenswear label out of seoul. we built a scroll-driven lookbook with full-bleed editorial pacing, custom cursor states, and a private buyer portal.

/02 — café
kafé yū menu, mapped.
a four-location specialty café in singapore. mobile-first menu with a taste-graph filter, real-time wait times, and a quiet little ordering flow that pays for the redesign in a month.

/03 — music
moss & ash album release.
a lp campaign site for a brooklyn duo. webgl liquid type for the title sequence, ticket flow, and a tour map that updates from a single google sheet. ships in three days.

/04 — architecture
chōsei studio practice site.
a tokyo architecture firm's portfolio site. drawn-on-paper aesthetic married to a museum-grade image pipeline. one of the fastest sites i've ever shipped — 98 lighthouse, three large galleries.

"vdmri is the only studio i've worked with who argues with me about kerning and is right about it. that's the bar."
marlowe okaforcreative director, atelier nō
"showed up with taste, left us with a system. the team has been shipping with it for eighteen months and it still feels new."
jun kimfounder, kafé yū
"hired them for a landing page. came out the other side with a brand identity. somehow on time."

it's time to break through
every default,
every template, every vibe-less ordinary.

— rebuilt, on the other side
let's make
something new, together.
got a project that doesn't fit the template? a brand worth doing right? a site that needs to feel like something?
