Overview

Atelier.Luce is the studio of Mio, a hair and makeup artist based in Kyoto who works across weddings, pre-wedding kimono portraits, fashion, film and editorial. She trained and earned her cosmetology licence in Japan, worked in salons in Melbourne, and now looks after couples who come to Kyoto from all over the world. Her first website had to feel as soft and personal as her work, and carry her Japanese background with care.

Designed and built end to end in Framer, the site pairs a blush and cocoa palette with an elegant serif and botanical line drawings that draw themselves in as you scroll. Photographs sit in oval and print frames, every look in the portfolio opens larger with its credits, and Japanese runs alongside the English for pricing, the booking steps, the FAQ and the booking form. Pages for bridal, editorial (including her British VOGUE work), services, her story and a journal all lead to one “Check your date” enquiry. It is live at atelierluce.com and responsive across desktop, tablet and phone.

Client review

“I absolutely love my website! Having a website of my own had been a dream of mine for years, but I kept putting it off because I wasn’t sure where to start. Aidan helped me finally take the leap, and now that long-held dream has come true. My work is in the highly specialized field of hair and makeup, but Aidan took the time to understand my business, my ideas, and the feeling I wanted my brand to express. He created a website that feels polished, personal, and true to me, while thoughtfully incorporating my Japanese background into the design. The result is incredibly well put together, and I’m so happy with how he brought my vision to life. Seeing the care and creativity he put into my website makes me confident he can create something amazing for businesses in any field. There are so many details that make the website special. I especially love how the page moves as you scroll and all the creative interactive elements — they make exploring the site so much fun. Aidan is incredibly creative, attentive, and talented. I couldn’t be happier with my website, and I can’t recommend him enough!”
