CUSP is a spread-out craft team that builds digital work for current companies. Even a good cobbler needs a pair that fits — this site is that pair.
The shoemaker’s child has no shoes: a website for the digital design studio
CUSP designs for everyone from global brands to two-person shops. They wanted a site that felt like the team: playful, a little experimental, and worth poking at.
The community took it in — awards followed, plus write-ups on Mindsparkle Mag, Greensock, Commarts and Codrops as a reference, not just a launch post.
CSS and JS alone were not enough. React plus PixiJS and three.js on the front, Prismic on the back. GLSL shaders push the heavy math to the GPU so several animations can run at once without the fan screaming.
We tried a pile of motion references. None of them felt like this studio, so most of the animation and interaction was written here, not copied from a Dribbble board.
Keeping that motion at 60 fps on an old laptop or a phone was the real fight. Shaders moved work to the GPU; then we cut dead code until the look stayed and the frame rate held.
The page count is small, so we spent the hours on how navigation feels. Pacing got a long pass: quick to the tap, never frantic.
Infinite scroll is in the main nav on purpose. Cases can flip between a slow, one-project stage and a fast index if you just want to scan.
