Front-End Developer — shaped by light & detail

I design digital
experiences people
remember.

I'm Saleh — a front-end developer still early in my career, who cares as much about how something feels as how it's built.

Selected Work

Five projects.
Five different lights.

Each one shifts tone, temperature and pace to fit what it's for — while still feeling like the same hand made them.

01 — Curtain & interior brand

Parde Salimi

A traditional family curtain business that needed to feel as premium online as their product does in person. The brief was trust, not novelty.

  • Warm, restrained light to signal quality over noise
  • Visual storytelling in place of a product list
  • Responsive layout built around fabric & texture photography

02 — Financial dashboard concept

Eco Vision

A concept dashboard for market data — the real skill is making density feel calm instead of overwhelming.

  • Information architecture for data-heavy screens
  • Live-feeling charts built without a charting framework
  • Cool, precise light to match the subject matter
Case study coming soon

03 — AI product landing page

AIdea2

A landing page for an AI product, built to sell an idea in seconds — not just describe a feature list.

  • Product storytelling over static sections
  • Futuristic but restrained visual language
  • Motion used to explain, not decorate

04 — Digital menu experience

Coffee Menu

A mobile-first menu for a café — proof that good UX isn't always about complexity. Sometimes it's just getting out of the way.

  • Fast, thumb-friendly browsing on mobile
  • Warm, natural light to match a hospitality space
  • Clear visual hierarchy across a long menu

05 — This portfolio

Lumin

The site you're on. It's the clearest demonstration I have of how I think — about type, motion, structure, and restraint.

  • One light system, four project temperatures
  • Cursor-reactive type as the signature interaction
  • Built in plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript — no framework

How I Think

Less clutter.
More clarity.

Every animation
must have a purpose.

Every pixel
must earn its place.

Good design is
mostly what you leave out.

Capabilities

What I actually do,
not just what I know.

Frontend Development

Turning designs into fast, maintainable interfaces that hold up in the real world, not just in a mockup.

Interaction Design

Deciding what should move, when, and why — and being just as willing to remove motion as add it.

Responsive Systems

Designing layouts and typography that adapt with intention, not just shrink to fit a smaller screen.

Performance

Keeping pages light and fast — lazy loading, efficient animation, no unnecessary JavaScript.

Accessibility

Semantic HTML, visible focus states, and respect for reduced-motion preferences, by default.

Creative Development

Custom cursors, scroll-driven reveals, and small interactive details that make a site feel considered.

AI-assisted Workflow

Using AI tools deliberately to move faster on implementation, without letting them make the design decisions.

About

I'm Saleh. I build websites that feel calm, intentional, and a little memorable — not because they're loud, but because nothing in them is there by accident.

I'm still early in my career, and I'm fine saying that. What I bring isn't years of experience — it's attention. I notice the spacing that's slightly off, the animation that doesn't need to exist, the copy that could say less and mean more.

My goal isn't just writing code. It's building things people enjoy using — and getting a little better at that with every project.
