Stanlee R Gatti Designs

Stanlee Gatti has been a long-time collaborator of Elixir’s and is well-known for creating truly one-of-a-kind events—from intimate weddings to themed fundraising events for some of San Francisco’s most prominent institutions. His work speaks for itself, so when designing a new website for his studio, we went with an elegant, understated design that would let the events themselves shine.

We started with a landing page that pays tribute to the heart of Stanlee’s work—bringing people together—and assembled a sweeping video collage of celebrations and gatherings from all over.

Stanlee is known for his bold use of color: events often have a very strong theme, resulting in striking photography. We carefully selected only a handful of images for each event—a daunting task when you consider the breadth and beauty of Stanlee’s events throughout his career.

In order to allow each event to truly pop, the website portfolio grid is a restrained black and white, with the colors shining through on hover.
