Wondros

Wondros designs communications that build trust, drive engagement, and deliver measurable outcomes for clients like the NIH, IBM, MD Anderson, Stand Up 2 Cancer, American Express, and Craig Newmark Philanthropies. The site needed to feel as cinematic and considered as the work itself, a portfolio-first experience where film, campaigns, and case studies could breathe.

Our team built it as a server-side rendered React application on Vite, giving the team fluid, app-like interactions while keeping every case study fully crawlable, instantly shareable, and fast on first paint. Capability and focus-area filters update the work grid in place, with state preserved across navigation so visitors never lose their place.

Film is treated as a first-class citizen. I integrated the Vimeo API into a custom video pipeline that pulls thumbnails, durations, and HLS streams directly from the client’s library, so the Wondros team can publish a new film without touching code. Lottie handles micro-interactions and lightweight motion graphics, and Framer Motion drives page transitions, hover choreography, and layered reveals across hero modules and case study scroll states.
Everything ships through AWS CodePipeline to an EC2 fleet, fronted by a global CDN for fast asset delivery worldwide, an infrastructure stack that matches the production value Wondros brings to every frame they put out.
