A Solution to a Problem
I created the concept of Safe House, a sublease-finder after finding out how difficult it is to find short-term housing. My challenge was to position Safe House as a safe, simple service, and provide information and demos to draw viewers to sign up.

Challenges
Responsive Search Results Layout
Each search result contains quite a bit of information. This information needed to be easily viewed on all device sizes. With the help of media queries and phone, tablet, and desktop views of the page, results can be viewed simply and easily.
Custom Image Gallery
I wanted to create a simple, lightweight image gallery that had a minimalistic layout, allowing the user to switch between images by choosing a thumbnail.
Sensible Animations
Animations are great, but only when used in a context the makes sense and improves the user’s experience.
