About · the practice
A creative observatory
for the modern web.
Zakology is the design practice of one obsessive — equal parts designer, technologist, and director of attention. I build websites that feel less like documents and more like places.

Restraint
Cinematic doesn't mean cluttered. Every element earns its place.
Atmosphere
Mood is design. Light, sound, motion, pacing — engineered.
Craft
60fps on real devices. Pixel-perfect. Accessible. Always.
Ownership
I design AND build. No handoff theatre. No diluted vision.

First cinematic site

Today
A focused independent practice for two projects at a time. Quality over volume.
