Submitting a website for an international award like Awwwards isn’t just a formality - it’s a deep-dive into process, iteration, and learning to showcase your project to the global design community. On Day 15 of our 100-day challenge, Dung is hard at work on the design of our project, so I spend my time finalizing Lumen Artpsace, a very important milestone for Lumen Studio.
100-day challenge: Build and design an Awwwards Site of the Day’s website. A special collab between Lumen Studio and Dung Pham.

New project launched: Lumen Artspace 🖼️
This is the project I’m most proud of this year. It means a lot to me and has challenged and inspired our team in so many ways. We learned new design and development techniques, took every photo ourselves, and spent months exploring the history of lacquer art.
There were more design versions than I can count, but we made it work, and I couldn’t be prouder.
Thank you to everyone who helped bring this idea to life. If you’re curious, take a look: https://t.co/1jQt68OLhU

Loving the new Lumen Artspace website — a stunning gallery celebrating Vietnam’s cultural heritage. Smooth animations and slick design throughout. Crafted on @webflow by @lenonguyen featuring our Effects 026 and 042! Built as always with @gsap_greensock 💚
Working on the new About page for Lumen Artspace has been eye-opening.
While putting this together, I learned so much about Vietnamese lacquer art. For the About page, my goal is to introduce visitors to what makes lacquer painting so special - its history, meaning, and evolution over time.
Really excited to launch this page soon!
New Project Launch: Davincilab AI website.
Davincilab AI was founded by two neuroscientists with a big vision: to build the next generation of data scientists and AI researchers. Their mission is to help high school and undergraduate students harness AI, work on real research projects, and publish in international journals - all with guidance from world-class mentors.
The team wanted a website that felt clean, modern, and high-tech, while making it easy for students and parents to understand the opportunities Davincilab offers.
Proud to help bring their vision online and support the future of AI education.
Built with @webflow , @greensock , and @osmosupply .
@webflow changed my life! But when I started learning it, I noticed that almost no one in Vietnam was using it or even talking about it.
That’s why, two years ago, I created a Vietnamese YouTube channel all about Webflow. I wanted to share everything I know about building great websites, organizing projects, and even adding fun animations with @greensock .
My goal was to help more Vietnamese people learn Webflow and feel confident using it in real client projects.
It hasn’t always been easy, but helping others learn and seeing their progress makes me really happy.

Sneak peek at the new loading animation for Lumen Artspace.
With so many images on the site, loading can take a moment, so we wanted to make it feel special. While everything gets ready, you’ll see a smooth animation. Then, a curtain opens up to reveal the full gallery.
I also wrote a little function that listens for the loading events on all assets across the site, so the loading bar you see isn’t just a typical fake number-it actually shows real progress.
Currently working on a new GSAP Effect tutorial for my YouTube channel!
It’s a fun animation where images smoothly follow your cursor, creating a lively trail, perfect for adding some interactive flair to your site.
The tutorial will be in Vietnamese, but I’m curious: would you like this effect as a free cloneable for Webflow? Let me know below if you want to try it out on your own projects!
Here’s a sneak peek inside the design file for the whole Lumen Artspace website - lots of versions, tweaks, and ideas we went through to get it just right.
Big shoutout to our team for sticking with it and pushing through every change. Sometimes the messy process behind the scenes is where the real magic happens.
One of the toughest challenges our team faced while building the Lumen Artspace website was how to showcase all the artworks without overwhelming the viewer. The layout, typography, and colors had to support the art, not compete with it.
After exploring many options, we landed on a clean, animated grid layout that lets each piece shine. The subtle motion draws you in without distraction, creating a seamless flow that feels natural and inviting.
Reflection of Art.
Lumen Artspace is showcasing the lacquer work of Vo Xuan Huy. Each piece is more than just stunning - it’s a window into Vietnam’s history. You’ll spot symbols from Hue, hints of the Imperial city, and even traces of the Vietnam War.
In this section, the paintings drift from right to left, flowing like a river through time. And as you move your mouse, a WebGL ripple effect follows. Every movement, no matter how small, sends waves through the past and present.
Sneak peak of the new 404 page for Lumen Artspace.
Most 404 pages just tell you you’re lost. This one lets you wander - a never-ending grid of beautiful Vietnamese lacquer paintings you can scroll and drag through.
Sometimes, the best discoveries happen by accident. And yes, I had a blast with the copy on this one.
