Skynn — Browser Extension for Instant Website Restyling (WIP)

A work-in-progress personal product: a browser extension that lets users restyle any website with modern themes and color presets. Current progress includes a fully designed landing page in Figma, a functional prototype of the theme engine, and the early extension architecture built with Next.js 16 and TypeScript. The focus is on a clean user experience, strong visual identity, and a privacy-first approach.

Explore Your Style – Fashion Landing Page Concept

Art-directed and designed a bold hero section for a fashion e-commerce brand in Figma. Focused on strong typography, high-contrast product photography, and clear calls-to-action (“Buy now”, “See our collection”) to draw users straight into the catalog. Built on a responsive grid with attention to whitespace, hierarchy, and microcopy so the layout can be easily translated into a high-converting landing page.

About

About

Crafted with intention, built with purpose.

I'm Ben Martens,

a designer and engineer based in Germany. I create digital systems that merge creativity with precision. My work sits at the intersection of design, code, and structure — where clarity and usability come first. I believe in products that are simple, fast, and deeply considered. Every detail should serve a purpose, and every interface should feel inevitable, as if it couldn’t have been made any other way. I’m currently building Skynn, a privacy-first browser extension that lets anyone restyle websites instantly using modern themes and curated design presets. It blends thoughtful UX, strong visual identity, and engineering depth — and represents the kind of craftsmanship I aim to bring to every project.
