QOVES
A capability build demonstrating high-performance, motion-heavy front-end engineering for an AI skincare analysis concept.
QOVES is a capability build, not client work: a front end for an AI skincare analysis concept built to demonstrate motion-heavy, high-performance React and Next.js engineering. Listed last and labelled deliberately.

Built to demonstrate a specific capability. Not a client engagement, and presented as neither.
The problem
This is not a client engagement, and it is listed here deliberately as one: an example of front-end engineering built to a standard, without a client brief constraining it, to show what the studio’s motion and performance work looks like unconstrained.
The brief was self-set: build a front end for an AI skincare analysis concept that handles image-heavy, motion-heavy interaction without the jank this category of interface usually ships with.
Constraints
The conditions the solution had to survive, not a wish list.
- No client brief
- Scope, direction and standard were set internally, which is exactly why it is labelled a capability build rather than client work.
- Motion-heavy interaction
- Image analysis flows and result reveals lean on animation, which has to stay smooth rather than become the thing that makes the product feel slow.
- Performance under animation
- Heavy animation and good Core Web Vitals are normally in tension. Both were treated as required, not traded off.
The approach
In plain English, before the architecture.
The build treats motion as a performance budget, not a decoration layered on afterward. Animation timelines are built to stay off the main thread where possible and to degrade cleanly rather than jank under load.
Component architecture follows the same discipline as any production front end: typed, composable, and built to extend rather than a one-off demo shell.
Architecture
The decisions that mattered, and why they were made that way.
- 01
GSAP-driven interaction
Timeline-based animation for image analysis and result reveals, built to stay smooth rather than compete with the page’s own responsiveness.
- 02
React and Next.js front end
Typed, componentised structure built the way a production application would be, not as a disposable prototype.
- 03
Tailwind design system
A consistent, constrained visual system driven from Tailwind, keeping styling maintainable as the interface grew.
Outcome
This is a capability build, not a client engagement, and it is presented that way deliberately: it exists to show motion-heavy front-end work at production quality, not to claim a client outcome that never happened.
It sits last in this list on purpose, after eight engagements that were client or studio work, so the distinction stays visible rather than blended in.
