Glenn Spiro

UI Design

In 2020, I refreshed the online portfolio for private jeweller Glenn Spiro. The brief was simple: create a quiet, image‑led site that lets his one‑off pieces speak for themselves. Over a few weeks at Xanda I handled the concept, visual design, and developer hand‑off.

Landing page

Visitors land on an elegant marble backdrop with a single spotlighted piece, the studio logo, and quick‑contact icons for phone and email. The pared‑back layout feels like stepping into a private salon and keeps attention exactly where we want it - on the jewellery.

Desktop gallery

I swapped small thumbnails for a full‑width carousel of ultra‑sharp close‑ups. Subtle, fluid transitions guide the eye from one piece to the next, hinting at the jeweller’s meticulous process. Captions stay short so nothing distracts from stone settings and finishes.

Mobile gallery

On phone screens, the carousel centres each piece and trims excess space so viewers don’t need to pinch‑zoom. Progressive images keep load times short even on patchy Wi‑Fi, and swipe gestures make browsing feel natural. The gallery stays minimal, preserving the luxury vibe on smaller screens.

About Glenn

Instead of a long biography, I paired a brief quote from Glenn with a photo showing inside his Bruton Street studio. A second image nods to the Papillon ring Beyoncé donated to the V&A, which offers quick social proof without heavy copy. The section stays visual to match the rest of the site.

Impact and reflection

After launch the team reported richer client conversations and a noticeable rise in enquiry emails, both clear signs that sharper imagery and smoother browsing paid off. If I revisited the project I’d add detailed alt‑text for every hero shot and prototype 360‑degree spins for complex pieces. My key takeaway: for luxury work, a restrained stage can amplify the craft better than any headline.

Looking ahead

A private‑client area with wish‑lists and event RSVPs could add value without cluttering the experience - an elegant next step for Glenn’s growing circle of collectors.
