Hi everyone : )

Lots of people joining the new @Framer community, so I thought I'd make a proper intro!

I'm Fernando and I run hippo design studio 🦛

designer, musician, maker, woodworker and passionate about 10,000 topics I can never seem to fit into my 24h haha

I made my art gallery template about 2 years ago, as a fun experiment when I was moving from Webflow to Framer (I didn't know I was moving at the time, but now it's clear that's what it was hahaha)

Now I know that not many art galleries are using Framer 😂 but it was a niche I wanted to design for so I just went for it. Spoke to an art gallery owner, refined it, added all the features and pages we discussed were useful for the business.

Even though it's not a popular niche, the crazy thing is I still got between 1-3 sales almost every month since launch.

I've been a digital designer for 8+ years, focused on custom eCommerce design for the last 6+ of those years.

I'm now bringing that experience and diving head-first into creating eCommerce-focused templates as part of my design business, as well as components I've been creating for my own use based on day-to-day needs.

Here I'll be sharing the process of creating these templates, design experiments, redesigns for cool brands I find and a bit of my day-to-day in this journey.

If you're interested in the world of eCom design, templates and components crafted with a ton of passion and obsessive attention to detail, follow for more!

Thanks for reading, wishing you a lovely day 🦛 💙

Morning, community!

What are you designing/building today?

@Framer 3.0 has some amazing new features, but here's something I haven't seen anyone talk about yet:

In the keynote, they showed a screenshot of a form being fed into the AI agent and built out with real UI elements:

Every single day I see people here on X mentioning someone who stole a design and reposted as their own.

Well, brace yourselves.. those stolen designs won't just be used to farm likes anymore.

They're now about to become templates and components in a couple of minutes, instantly approved in the marketplace, ready to make a profit.

It was already hard to keep up and know someone has ripped off your work, now it will probably be easily lost in the flood of new resources that will get published every day.

For those of us who create things ourselves, who are genuinely excited about design and have been working hard to improve our craft for years,

I think it's amazing we can just hit publish once something is ready.

But unfortunately, the reality is that now the output of all that hard work is also up for grabs.

ohhh sneaky new @Framer app icon

love it!

it's been a while since I've shared my first template, but here it is:
