About
I work best close to the people who build. I draw in code, prototype by hand and test on real people.
Say hi
I’m taking new projects from January.
ida@holm.studioDock as navigation
The whole site’s navigation is a floating dock at the bottom. The icons magnify under the pointer, a dot shows the section, and the theme button changes colour with a circle.
- A dock at full scaleThe icons are 48 px and grow to 72 px under the pointer, large enough for a whole website.
- Scroll and dock move togetherThe dot under the icon follows the section you are reading, and a click scrolls there.
- Theme with a circleThe theme button switches between light and dark with a circle that grows out of the button, where the browser supports it.
