One of the main objectives for the new site was to attract new business and leave a memorable impression on (often busy) brand representatives and ad agencies.
Secondary objective was to present Ali’s story in an immersive way in order to connect with his audience and express his love for storytelling and typography.
The final website is minimal in design but rich in storytelling and interactivity. Ali's work is known for his attention to detail, surprising plot twists, and interesting storylines. We have added a couple of sleek and surprising interactions in order to reflect this on his website.

In order to echo Ali's love for typography, we are using a contemporary grotesk sans-serif typeface that allows for distinct layout variations and dramatic size contrasts.
Ali's compelling background story is told through a chronological biography page. Typographic compositions enriched with subtle interactions guide the visitor through the story, while echoing Ali's love for minimal design.
