Project Overview

FS Investments, recognized as a leading asset manager with a focus on “alternative investments,” needed a fully responsive corporate website. The goal of the site was to provide investors and interested parties with in-depth information about their wide-ranging funds. Beyond that, the site presenting insightful thought leadership articles that delve deep into the investment landscape. Additionally, it was created to represent FS Investments’ values, goals, and operations, giving visitors a clear overview of the company and what it stands for.

I collaborated with a product manager to refine the site’s informational architecture. As FS introduced its new brand identity, our website stood as the foundational platform shaping this brand experience. We integrated photography, cards, and a clean aesthetic to encapsulate the brand’s spirit. Together with a developer, we ensured component reusability. Even as the site evolved, its core brand strategy persisted.
