Post Brain Injury for Families

Collaborative systems for the support network. Transforming the environment to accommodate neurological reality.

When one person suffers a brain injury — including post-acute and subacute carbon monoxide poisoning — the entire family system absorbs the shock. This service is for the partners, parents, assistants, and close circle who coordinate daily life with the survivor.

What I Build

Important: This is not medical care. It is not a substitute for medical care.

Visual & Interaction Design

This section describes how the live website looks and behaves. The real site is a rich, animated single-page React application. Because most automated tools and AI fetchers do not run JavaScript or render pixels, the design — including motion that no static screenshot can capture — is described here in words.

Overall Concept

The aesthetic is "Bold Modern Editorial": a calm, refined, magazine-quality look in the spirit of NYT Magazine, Aesop, and Aman. The base is warm cream paper with deep ink typography and a single restrained forest-emerald accent — quiet, confident luxury with generous whitespace rather than loud effects. The design is deliberately calm: it is built for an audience of brain-injury survivors who may have photosensitivity, vestibular sensitivity, or attention difficulties, so heavy motion has been intentionally stripped away and a calm, near-static experience is the default.

Color Palette

Typography

Serif display headings (Playfair Display and Source Serif 4) paired with clean sans-serif body text (Inter, Outfit). Systems-themed sections lean on a more technical pairing (Space Grotesk, with JetBrains Mono for monospaced details); coaching-themed sections use softer serif headings. Generous line height and wide editorial margins give a calm, printed-page rhythm.

Layout

Centered single-column editorial measure with abundant whitespace. Content sits on quiet "paper" cards with subtly accent-tinted borders and soft, low-contrast shadows. Sections are separated by a single restrained ornamental divider style. A dual visual system runs throughout: systems sections carry the teal-graphite identity, coaching sections carry the burnt-sienna identity, and the hero is its own neutral zone. On mobile, the primary call-to-action ("Start") sits above the fold so the booking path is visible without scrolling.

Motion & Interactivity

Motion is intentionally minimal and calm by design. There is no splash screen, no custom cursor, no smooth-scroll hijacking, no parallax, no background canvas effects, and no auto-playing animation. The only motion is a gentle, brief opacity fade-in as sections enter view, plus standard hover and focus states on links, buttons, and cards. Navigation is a simple static top bar with one primary call-to-action; the footer is static.

The Journey page (/the-journey) additionally offers one optional, strictly opt-in "immersive 3D view" called "Threshold", reached only by deliberately clicking an "Enter immersive 3D view" button. It is never shown by default. When entered, it presents the life timeline as a scroll-driven descent through depth — cards rising out of z-space, a luminous through-line, and a dark-to-light pivot at the 2013 carbon-monoxide event. It can be exited at any time back to the calm default, and it fully honors the operating-system "reduce motion" setting by rendering as plain static cards. The underlying content is identical to the calm timeline.

Accessibility

The experience is built calm-first specifically for visitors with photosensitivity, vestibular sensitivity, or attention difficulties. The few remaining fade-ins fully honor the operating-system "reduce motion" setting — when reduced motion is requested they are replaced with instant, static equivalents, and all content is fully present for screen readers.
