About

Bielefeld, Germany

I’m Joe, a graphic designer from Bielefeld. Three years of training in Schwerin, an early love for generative image tools and a self-taught path into web design led to ate studio, where I build calm, clean Framer templates and components.

Day job

Early mornings in a DHL warehouse

A few hours that pay the rent. I chose this over a design job, so the rest of my time goes into Framer, making templates and little components.

Questions I get a lot

Are the free templates really free?

Yeah they are. Remix them in one click and use them for your own site, no strings attached.

Can I use a template for a client?

Sure thing. One purchase covers one client site, so grab a copy for each project. The free ones you can use as often as you like, just don’t resell a template itself.

Do I need to code anything?

Nope, not at all. Everything is built with native Framer layers, plus a few locked components you tweak right in the panel.

Do you take custom work?

Not right now, honestly. I’m heads down on templates for a bit, but say hello anyway and I’ll let you know when that changes.

What if I get stuck with a template?

Just drop me a mail. I usually answer within a day, weekends a bit slower.

Will there be more free stuff?

Oh for sure. New templates and components land here first, so check back every now and then.

Got a project in mind?

I’m not taking client work right now, but tell me what you’re building anyway. I read every mail and usually answer within a day.

Say hello
