Dylan Brouwer, a Dutch digital designer and Webflow developer, shares insights into his journey from a design-focused to a motion-driven approach in his work. He emphasizes the power of no-code tools that enable designers to create interactive and engaging websites without extensive coding knowledge. His portfolio reflects a blend of bold visuals and smooth user experiences, achieved primarily through tools like Webflow and GSAP. Brouwer's recent projects include a homepage hero with a looping showreel video and a 3D display mockup, which required intricate scroll synchronization.
In his work with UNCOMMON on Palmer Dinnerware, Brouwer transformed the website into an interactive experience rather than a traditional e-commerce site. Users engage with the collection through scroll and drag interactions, creating a tactile browsing experience. The project faced challenges in integrating multiple interaction types seamlessly, and the collaboration with Alexis Sejourne was key in achieving a fluid user experience. Another notable project, Dolsten & Co., featured a 3D flower animation that transitioned from preloader to homepage, showcasing the studio's bold identity.
Brouwer also highlights his experience with Mythic Codex, an experimental website developed during an Awwwards Masterclass. This project pushed his technical boundaries, introducing him to WebGL and custom code, while stressing the importance of conceptual thinking in design. After nearly a decade in-house, he’s transitioned to full-time freelancing, looking forward to new collaborations and projects. His recent work includes redesigns for Aardvark Book Club and a pizza food truck website, reflecting his enthusiasm for creative challenges.
