Four by Erik — AI studio design study

2026

A one-page site for a fictional AI and software studio, built in SvelteKit with a custom WebGL shader, smooth scrolling and scroll-driven animation.

Four is a design study: a fictional brand used to show how a modern studio website is built. Its structure and techniques are inspired by award-level agency sites, but all copy, visuals and code are my own.

The hero runs on a hand-written WebGL shader: a 'neural field' of nodes and data packets that reacts to the pointer and pauses when off-screen. A loader tracks the real loading of fonts and shader. Then column rules draw themselves, type slides in line by line, and Lenis and GSAP ScrollTrigger take over scrolling.

Also inside: a draggable carousel with canvas visuals, expandable disciplines, a pinned principles section and a custom cursor that changes colour per section. With reduced motion, without WebGL or without JavaScript everything stays usable. Lighthouse mobile: 94 performance, 100 accessibility.
