About
Fran
I’m Fran Lamothe — a visual artist and web designer working at the intersection of design, space, and strategy. My background spans Los Angeles real estate, interactive design, and fine art, which means I approach websites differently.
I don’t design for trends or noise. I design for clarity, confidence, and conversion — especially for people who build, sell, or shape beautiful spaces.
Today, I create design-forward Squarespace websites for real estate professionals, design-build firms, landscape designers, and interior designers who want their online presence to feel intentional — not templated, not overcomplicated, and never generic.
These are websites designed to earn trust quickly, guide visitors with ease, and quietly position you as the premium choice in your market.

From Hollywood to High-End Homes
Before working in web design, I helped bring stories to life in Hollywood.
As an interactive designer and creative director, I created digital experiences for major film studios, working on projects for titles including Batman, Austin Powers, The Grinch, and James Bond. That world shaped how I think visually and strategically—through pacing, hierarchy, emotion, and restraint.
I bring that same cinematic mindset to web design today.
A strong website isn’t about saying everything. It’s about knowing what to show, what to hold back, and what to lead with.
Fine Art & Photography
Alongside my design work, I create minimalist fine art and photography defined by clean lines, subtle textures, and a quiet sense of space.
My work is intentionally calm — designed to complement modern interiors and invite a pause rather than compete for attention. Many of the same principles guide both my art and my web work: composition, balance, and intention.
By Collection
I believe in fewer pages, stronger structure, and thoughtful design choices that age well.
Whether I’m designing a website or creating a photographic series, the goal is the same:
to create work that feels considered, grounded, and quietly confident.
It’s not just about looking good.
It’s about showing up with intention — and building something that supports where you’re going next.
