A case study on Pell Mell, a creative discovery platform built by Le Fruit studio that reimagines artist portfolio browsing through editorial-inspired design. The project uses scroll-driven animations, Intersection Observer for lightweight reveals, a modular CMS-compatible architecture, and Vimeo for video performance. Key design decisions include minimizing UI elements, using typography as a structural element, treating mobile as a primary context rather than an adaptation, and keeping animations native and performant without heavy frameworks.
