Healey Young website on desktop: a dark page with her name in large ivory serif type, a gold rule and the small-caps title “Awards Campaign Consultant”.
Healey Young website on mobile: serif name, gold rule and introduction above her career figures.

The Goal

Healey has led awards campaigns in the film industry for 25 years, contributing to 86 Academy Awards and 420 Oscar nominations across more than 130 campaigns. Her site needed to feel as polished and cinematic as the films she represents.

02

The Approach

I designed an editorial, luxury aesthetic inspired by film press materials: a dark, screening-room palette, large serif display type, thin gold rules, and small-caps labels. Her campaign work is the centerpiece, presented as a grid of film posters. I built it as a fast multi-page site with smooth scrolling and refined hover interactions.

Design Decisions

  1. 01

    Print-inspired typography

    Large serif headlines and letterspaced small caps borrow from film press kits.

    Healey Young's hero: her name in large serif type over a thin gold rule and the small-caps line “Awards Campaign Consultant”, above a row of career figures.
  2. 02

    The work leads

    A poster grid lets her campaigns speak for themselves.

    The films section headed “More than 130 films, carried through Santa Barbara”, with a grid of film posters from 2024 and 2025.
  3. 03

    Restrained motion

    Subtle hover and scroll details add polish without distracting from the films.

    Three posters in the grid; the hovered Anora poster gains a gold border, a soft shadow and a caption listing its awards.
