For the new Fripon website I developed a fully custom Shopify experience, collaborating with William Becker to bring his vision to life. We set out to create a compact e-commerce experience. It features an interactive marquee re-introducing the Filosof Lamp, paired with a versatile navigation that doubles as a narrative space for their story, info and shop.
Biennale for Craft & Design is a biennial exhibition celebrating the best of Danish contemporary craft and design. My task was to design and develop a digital experience in extension of Osvald Landmark’s visual identity. I added an interactive ‘eye’ hero graphic, alongside a intuitive navigation on the side and a structured index over the exhibition.
Deliverables: Design, Interactions, Web Development
Den Frie is one of Denmark’s most iconic, artist-led art institutions. My task was to take a bold, asymmetrical design and turn it into a high-performant, fully responsive website. I developed a custom and intuitive WordPress backend that allows the staff to easily manage their large exhibition archive.
For the re-release of Grilli Type’s GT Pressura typeface I designed the new ‘minisite’. In collaboration with the team at Grilli Type, I created the visual direction and brought the typeface’s story to life with illustrations and motion design – as well as the interactions and structure of the site.
The website for ARENSBAK™ revolves around the use of color blocks, extending the visual identity developed by Paw Poulsen. The site aims to communicate ARENSBAK’s story and their process of crafting some of the world’s finest wine proxies.
Lotte Bækgaard is a Danish visual artist. The site is stripped down to its essentials, but with a lot of features in the details: Custom page transitions, an interactive expand/collapse contact section to name a few. All powered by a custom Sanity CMS backend for easy content management.
For the exhibition ‘Ødeland’, I designed and developed a landing page as an extension of Paw Poulsen’s visual identity. The site appears simple at first glance but is quite complex beneath the surface. It masters the art of distilling years of research and complex data into a clean, intuitive experience. Simultaneously, the site functions as a comprehensive archive featuring more than 200 recipes.
Disruptive Type was my attempt to establish a new virtual exhibition space that can be navigated like a game. The purpose of the exhibition was to take typography out of its original, traditional context and place it in a new setting. The project was created as an extension of a research paper I wrote during my master's studies.
AKK – Almene Kunstklubber is a national art initiative for social housing. My task was to turn a minimal design into a intuitive one-page website. While the site appears simple at first glance, I added depth with playful interactions throughout the site. All while ensuring a polished, responsive experience across all devices.
Business Club Aarhus is a professional network for business leaders and decision-makers. My task was to turn their new design into a modern WordPress website. On the backend, I developed a custom-built page builder that seamlessly integrates with their third-party membership integration. All while ensuring a polished, responsive experience across all devices.
Atelier Jonas Baun is the independent practice of, you guessed it, me Jonas Baun! I build bespoke frontend and full-stack web solutions, then take them past merely implemented into a cohesive experience.
Simplicity has always been at the core of my practice, being intentional about what’s essential in order to achieve clarity. It isn’t just an aesthetic preference. I apply it the same way to a layout and to a component’s interactions: everything has to earn its place.
My foundation as a designer gives me an intuition for more than how a design looks: it’s knowing which easing curve makes an interaction feel right, and caring enough to adjust it until it does.
Services
Frontend and full-stack builds, from component systems to content architecture. Built to perform and to stay maintainable.
Refining interfaces in the browser: interaction, motion and the details that decide how a product feels to use. I often work alongside an existing design or development team.
Shaping ideas into a direction, then into something you can actually use. Working prototypes over static mockups, so decisions get made against the real thing.
Sparring on the decisions that are expensive to reverse, technical and design alike: stack and architecture choices, and where a build is quietly costing you quality.
