Shanti's Lounge:
Working closely with Chris, we designed and developed a website that embodies Shanti’s Lounge’s mission to provide a haven of wellness
Background
Shanti’s Lounge is a unique concept launching in Westchester County in Spring 2025. Founded by a U.S. Navy veteran, Chris, the lounge combines a sophisticated and relaxing atmosphere with a focus on holistic wellness and community. Inspired by his personal journey with plant-based medicine, Chris aims to create a welcoming and inclusive space where individuals can explore natural remedies, find support, and embark on their healing journeys. Shanti’s Lounge is more than just a place to socialize; it’s a haven for well-being.
