Digital design, thoughtfully executed.
Halftone is a two-person studio building websites and digital products for brands that care about the details. Custom-designed, hand-coded, and shipped fast.
Selected work from the studio.
Sleepologie
A sleep medicine clinic in Lincoln Park, Chicago, run by board-certified and fellowship-trained sleep physicians. Editorial-style presentation of conditions, treatments, and the clinic’s approach to sleep health.
Rustic Dreams
A two-suite Montana-style bed & breakfast tucked along the Lehigh River in Bethlehem, PA. Five-page marketing site with room detail, booking flow, and a slow-paced editorial voice that matches the property.
Experimental Humanities Lab
Site for a Penn research lab studying storytelling, empathy, and narrative cognition. Editorial home with research threads, team, publications, and news — built to grow with a re-forming lab.
Yobee Care
Doctor-founded probiotic haircare and skincare brand featured in NYT, USA Today, and CNN. Full Shopify e-commerce build with custom brand identity.
Dr. Ruchi Gupta
Site for a Northwestern pediatrics professor, author, and founder whose research has been featured on Netflix, the NYT, and CNN — positioning two decades of food allergy and eczema work alongside her Yobee Care brand.
Voice Back
A voice-preservation app for people facing speech loss from ALS, surgery, and other causes — clones a voice from ten seconds of audio and gives users a customizable text-to-speech board.
A studio of two.
Two Duke students. One studio. Every project built by both of us, end to end.
Noah Breithaupt
Noah is the technical engine of the studio. He owns the engineering side of every project — turning concepts into shipped, performant, accessible code. A Duke computer science and biology student, he brings a scientist's discipline to the build process: rigorous testing, clean architecture, and a refusal to ship anything half-finished.
Riya Jain
Riya runs the business and owns the visual identity of every project. A Duke student studying public policy and entrepreneurship — and incoming intern at Goldman Sachs — she brings a sharp commercial instinct to creative work: brand strategy, art direction, and the taste-level decisions that separate forgettable websites from ones clients are proud of.
A website, shipped in a week.
Design
Two visual directions in 24 hours. You pick one. We refine it into a complete design — every page, every state, desktop and mobile — with real copy in real components.Deliverable: full design files, prototype, design system
Build
Hand-coded in React/Next or built in Webflow, depending on what fits. Pixel-accurate to the design, accessible by default, fast on a phone in a parking lot. CMS wired up so you can edit it yourself.Deliverable: staged site, CMS integration
QA & review
Cross-browser, real device, accessibility, performance. You walk through with us and flag anything that feels off. We fix it before launch, not after.Deliverable: bug-free build & sign-off
Launch & handoff
DNS, redirects, analytics, search console, social cards. We deploy, you confirm, the site goes live. You get documentation and ownership of everything.Deliverable: live site & ownership docs
