Leather Workshop Website for Jesse Noy | Portfolio Showcase
Home Landing page - highlighting interior leather projects
Jesse Noy of NOYAU Studio is a skilled designer and craftswoman specialising in bespoke leather craftsmanship. Based at Cockpit Studios in South East London and a three-time recipient of Cockpit's prestigious Leatherseller's Award, she creates exceptional leather pieces that blend traditional techniques with modern innovation.
Her website needed to showcase her portfolio of leatherwork and consultation services while maintaining her distinctive monochrome aesthetic. This custom portfolio website serves as a stylish platform to display her craftsmanship and creative collaborations with leading designers, including her work with US designer Shawn Hausman for the iconic Standard Hotel London.
Website Challenges for a Leather Workshop
Before our collaboration, Jesse faced several obstacles with her online presence
She was struggling to upgrade her existing Squarespace website to version 7.1
Her desire to add more information and update images was repeatedly delayed
The site failed to effectively showcase the full breadth of her leatherwork expertise
Her portfolio lacked a coherent organizational structure to highlight different project types
The existing platform didn't properly communicate her consultation services
She needed to maintain her distinctive monochrome aesthetic while creating a more dynamic experience
"Before working with Emma, I was struggling to upgrade my Squarespace website to version 7.1. I wanted to improve the site by adding more information and updating images, but I kept putting it off."
