STUDIO · 01
The person is me.
.ARK Studio is one designer, end to end — strategy, interface, motion, and build under a single hand. No hand-offs, no diffusion of intent.
THE FLOOD · 02
Why .ARK.
The web is flooding with sameness — templated, AI-averaged, forgettable. The ark is what you build to carry what matters across it: a brand that still reads as itself on the other side.
THE PERSON · 03
Shain Gerstner.
A vibe engineer working from Thun / Bern — high-end design fused with AI tooling, built to last beyond the trend cycle.
HOW I WORK · 04
Squint first, then subtract.
Greyscale the screen, check the hierarchy holds, delete anything that isn’t earning its place. The grid is the composition; the work supplies the colour; the frame stays quiet and Swiss.
