The form was the easy half. Anyone can build the form. Almost nobody scopes the surface that has to read what the form collects. The brief Streamer University is Kai Cenat’s campus. It had to open applications to the public, select a class from what came back, then run a live on-campus event with students and staff on camera. Three moments, months apart, each one in front of an audience of millions. The constraint This was not four products launching on one day. It was a relay, and every handoff was pinned to a broadcast date that could not move. Applications open first. The public site takes the announcement, the application takes the volume, and an admin portal has to read and accept what arrives. Then the class is revealed. Then students and staff walk onto a campus that is already streaming, and the portal they use has to hold while cameras are pointed at it. The hard part is the order. Review tooling is worthless if it ships after the applications land, and 100,000 of them arrived in under 48 hours. What we built The public marketing site. The application itself. An admin portal to review and accept applicants. A student and staff portal for the on-campus phase. A mobile app on iOS and Android. A merch store. The Class of 2026 yearbook. Twitch partnered with Streamer University on it, and Twitch and space150 designed it. We built it on the Streamer University site at /yearbook, working with Twitch to get it live: the Dean, admissions, professors, club directors, staff, every student, a photo gallery, and a directory. One studio, one room, across all three phases. The decisions The admin portal shipped with the application, not after it. In an open call the bottleneck is acceptance, not submission. Building the review surface first meant the team worked through applications as they landed instead of watching a queue fill up. The portal is its own product behind auth. Student and staff data never touches the public marketing site, and the portal could be hardened for the live phase without anyone touching the surface the public sees. Every phase reused the last one. The application fed the admin portal, the admin portal produced the accepted class, and the accepted class became the portal’s roster. One system in three states rather than three separate builds that have to be reconciled by hand. Commerce stayed on Shopify, deliberately off the critical path. Payments, inventory, and fulfillment are solved problems. Keeping them on infrastructure that already solved them meant the store was never the thing that could take the rest of it down. 100,000+ applications in under 48 hours 7M+ page hits -------------------------------------------------------------- Macizo Tequila https://saintand.co/work/macizo Every visitor hits a door before they see anything you made. Most spirits sites gate at the server, so a search engine arrives, meets the gate, and indexes nothing. The gate should be a door, not a wall. The brief Macizo is tequila built on a real story. Jalisco and Chicago, two cultures, one bottle. Three expressions, a premium price point, and a brand that lives on how it looks. The constraint Alcohol is one of the hardest categories on the web, and the reasons compound. A compliant age gate sits between every visitor and the site. Premium spirits sell on imagery, and imagery is what destroys load times: this build carries a 52-image gallery. Ad platforms restrict where a spirits brand can run at all, which puts more weight on the site than on the campaign around it. Most sites in the category settle this by being slow and beautiful. That costs search ranking and mobile visitors, the two things a young brand can least afford to lose. What we built The entire site, design through deploy. Compliant age verification. Three expressions (Blanco, Reposado, Añejo), each with tasting notes, proof, and a serve. A brand timeline running 2020 to now. Three signature cocktail recipes. A 52-image gallery. The decisions The age gate is a door, not a wall. It renders as an overlay on top of a page that is already server-rendered, so crawlers can reach the story, the expressions, and the cocktails without meeting the gate. Visitors still meet the gate before they enter. The visuals were never traded for the speed. Image optimization serves modern formats at the right size per device, so a 52-image gallery survives intact and the site still loads. The brand story is a scroll, not an About page. For a brand whose premium argument is where it came from, burying the origin costs margin. -------------------------------------------------------------- Lynae Vanee https://saintand.co/work/bwdp How do you sell merch without the site looking like a merch store? The dates page was designed for the day the tour ends. Most tour sites become a wall of dead cities, which is the day the client stops linking to them. The brief Black Women Deserve Poems is Lynae Vanee’s tour: live poetry, a screening of her short film Sundays in the Overflow, and a panel, taken city by city ahead of the midterms. The site had to carry the argument for the show, list the dates, and sell the merch, without any of those three flattening the other two. The constraint The usual answer is a Shopify theme, and a theme has a ceiling. That is fine for a product company. It is wrong here, because the audience follows one person for one specific voice, and the site is the first thing that has to sound like her. The other option is hand-rolling commerce, which means owning checkout, inventory, tax, and fulfillment. Nobody should own that to sell tour merch. What we built A multi-page site: the tour argument, the dates, an about, a contact, and a full storefront. Commerce runs through the Shopify Storefront API, so Shopify keeps checkout, inventory, and fulfillment while the front end stays entirely ours. Apparel and posters, each with their own options. The decisions Headless, because the brand mattered more than speed to launch. It costs more up front than a theme, and it is the right call when the design is the product, which for a personal brand it always is. Shopify keeps the parts nobody should rebuild. Payments, tax, inventory, fulfillment, and the compliance that comes with them stay on infrastructure that already solved them. The dates page was drawn empty before it was drawn full. Every tour ends. Almost nobody designs for that day, so the site quietly becomes the one the client stops linking to. This one holds the brand and says the next set of cities is coming. -------------------------------------------------------------- UWR Venture Studios https://saintand.co/work/uwr One studio. Four companies. Each one has to look like itself. A portfolio site that makes every company look the same is really only showing the studio. The frame should be quiet so each brand can speak. The brief UWR is an independent venture studio. It creates, tests, launches, and operates its own companies. The Saint Agency is one of them: UWR’s in-house creative development studio. This is work for our own parent, and we list it the same way we list everything else. UWR needed an identity, a brand for each company it runs, and a site that holds all of it. The constraint The companies are at different stages. ClipHouz is testing. ShootDay is being built. A55 is internal. The Saint Agency is operating. A venture site tends to make everything look finished, and that is not true here. The companies also serve different audiences, so each needs its own brand. The studio still needs to read as one place. What we built The UWR identity: the mark, the type, and the visual system. Brands for the ventures, each with its own mark and palette. The studio site at untilwererich.com, with a page for every company and a machine-readable index at /ai. The decisions The studio frame stays neutral. Off-white, black, and one heavy display face carry UWR. The color comes from the companies, so ClipHouz and ShootDay each arrive as themselves. Status sits next to the name: Testing, Building, Internal, Operating. The site says where each bet actually is, which is the studio’s own rule of letting evidence lead. Every company page uses the same template. Adding a venture means adding content, not building a new page.
