A Next.js website with static site generation for Renée Bradshaw, a Chicago-based model.

A micro-site that takes advantage of modern web tech and AI to create a smooth experience for both the creator and the audience.

This project is atypical for me since my work usually skews away from frontend and user experience, so it was a fun change of pace. The entire site is driven by a Contentful headless CMS pipeline that compiles to a fully static export at build time, built on Next.js and React with Tailwind CSS and Framer Motion handling the visual layer. The architecture also supports incremental static regeneration should the site's content needs grow. There is no backend to maintain, hosting costs are near-zero, and site maintains a near perfect Lighthouse score.

Behind the scenes, an AI workflow handles the ongoing upkeep: auto-optimizing images, organizing assets, and generating tags and alt-text to keep the site accessible and fast. A second workflow lets the site evolve in response to the creator's needs without requiring a technical background, while rigidly adhering to the design system, accessibility standards, and performance best practices.
