How do you create a website that reflects the heart and impact of a foundation’s work, while making it accessible and meaningful to everyone? This was the challenge we faced with Lien Foundation, a prominent philanthropy dedicated to eldercare, childhood development, palliative care, and mental health. We set out to make Lien Foundation’s mission clear, memorable, and true to their impact.

Bringing meaningful change to life

To find the right look and feel, we explored concepts ranging from whimsical animated cans to the iconic Peranakan tingkat lunchbox, each offering a unique metaphor for the foundation’s work. But it was the art of origami and kirigami—transforming simple paper into intricate forms—that resonated the most. Much like Lien Foundation’s mission, origami requires patience, precision, and the belief that something simple can become something extraordinary. This concept became the heart of the redesign.

Crafting an interactive, origami-inspired online experience

We brought the origami vision to life through bespoke, handcrafted paper pieces and stop-motion animation, creating a flowing, tactile feel as users scroll. Each fold and transition on the site reflects the Foundation’s careful approach to tackling complex issues. As users explore, subtle origami animations guide them, unfolding each area of Lien Foundation’s impact in a way that feels both thoughtful and intentional.

Democratising information for greater reach

The main goal was to make Lien Foundation’s story accessible to everyone—whether they’re a partner in healthcare, a curious community member, or a potential collaborator. With the new design, Lien Foundation’s mission is front and centre, and navigating their work is now as intuitive as it is impactful.

Designing with purpose and precision

This isn’t just a website; it’s a platform that reflects the Foundation’s ethos of precision, care, and transformative impact. With origami as both a design language and a storytelling tool, Lien Foundation’s new digital presence balances artistry with clarity, inspiring trust and understanding from the first fold to the last scroll.
