From research to a concept you can see

Turning the research brief into approved desktop mockups — and a build-ready plan.

Story so far: The research said the work is the product; this entry turns that into a concept.

Findings are easy to nod along to and hard to judge. So instead of a slide, we built the concept as real on-brand HTML, rendered at desktop width — homepage, services, and the library — and put them up for a yes/no.

The mockups doubled as the first proof the design system could build the site. Approved with two refinements (Ink as default, more substance on the Work tab), they became the spec.

BearingMake the concept concrete enough to approve before building.
