Travel media and YouTube companion site
Tomo Travel
The official website for my travel YouTube channel. Beyond designing and building the site, I write the articles and made both of the games you can play on it. It gathers the prices, directions and travel tips that don’t fit in a video, so viewers can move between videos and articles while planning their trip.

Design highlights
The channel’s world on the homepage
A large photo of the night sea and stars brings the channel’s “travel at night” mood straight to the homepage.
Bright, readable articles
Blog and travel-journal pages switch to a light palette, with a magazine-like layout made for reading photos and text.
Typography built for phones
Most visitors arrive from videos on their phones, so type size, line spacing and photo sizes are tuned for mobile first.
