Themes

Two themes. Same content, two readings.

Pick a starting point, then talk to your editor — colors, typography, density, and corner radius all adjust per tenant. Switch between themes any time without losing your content.

minimal

theme

Clean, restrained, lots of whitespace. Sans-serif, single accent color, conservative spacing. The default — works for most service businesses.

  • Sans-serif throughout
  • Pill-shaped CTAs
  • Centered, balanced layouts
  • Accent color subtle by default

Studio Lumen

Brand work, considered.

Identity, packaging, and editorial design for founders who care about the details.

About

A small studio, working in long form.

I work with a few clients each season — the kind that want to slow down enough to make something honest. Most engagements run six to twelve weeks, deep collaboration, no account managers in between.

Before Lumen, I led brand at a Series-B fintech and freelanced under my name for designers I respect.

Engagements

    from $4,200

editorial

theme

Magazine-style: serif headlines, asymmetric grid, italic pull quotes, monospace metadata. Denser, more textual — for owners whose voice carries the work.

  • Serif display + sans body
  • Asymmetric 12-col grid
  • Square / hard-edged CTAs
  • Monospace eyebrow labels

Tunable

Themes are starting points, not boxes.

Both themes consume the same brand-token system. Tell your editor what you want and the page adjusts globally — no theme editor, no config files.

Color

"Make the accent forest green."

Typography

"Pair a serif heading with a sans body."

Density

"More breathing room."

Radius

"Softer corners, but not pills."

Pick a theme. Iterate from there.

Both themes are tasteful out of the box. Most owners ship without touching the brand tokens — and the ones who do, do it in chat.
