Studio

Two people in Austin who make websites you can recognise.

PHASEKIND is an independent digital studio in Austin.

Two people, small by design. We bring in specialists for photography, 3D, identity and illustration when a project needs them. Every project stays close to the people designing and building it.

Andre Taki

Co-founder · design engineering, systems

Builds the sites and the systems behind them: storefronts, portals, WebGL, the freight and document layers that make a website useful after launch. Runs commercial operations for a hazmat chemical distributor with 55,000 customers, which is where most of that was learned.

Disclosure

Three of our case studies are businesses we are close to, and we say so plainly: Anastasiia Kuziak founded Eye Charm and Eye Charm Academy, and Andre Taki is Chief Commercial Officer of Alliance Chemical. Each case study describes what we made and the ongoing work behind it.

We also run search, ads and automation for the businesses we built. Ask if that matters to you.

Lately

What the studio is looking at, @phase_kind

05 / How it goes

Find the thing.
Follow it through.

We don't start from a template or a trend. We find what is visually and culturally distinctive about the person, the work or the idea, decide what visitors should feel, and what they need to get done. The type, the interaction, the structure and the stack follow from that.

  1. 01

    We look.

    At the work, the room, the customers, the competitors, the old site. Slowly, before anyone opens a design tool.

    Our working brief: notice, care, act.
  2. 02

    We find the thing.

    The one quality that is true of this business and not of the others. A listening space needs a different rhythm from an architecture practice.

    After Hours: the rhythm of a record, translated into form.
  3. 03

    We build a world around it.

    Type, color, motion, structure and copy chosen for that thing, so the site could not be swapped with anyone else's.

    Good Company: an invitation with its own voice.
  4. 04

    We make it work.

    Booking, checkout, documents, freight, search. The parts a visitor came to do, built properly and measured after launch.

    Form / Field: moving from an impression to useful detail.
  5. 05

    We remove what it doesn't need.

    Then we take things away until only the argument is left.
