Founder Statement

(From the founder)

Why we started Auralis.

I spent a decade watching beautiful ideas get flattened into the same safe templates. Auralis began as a refusal — a studio where typography carries the weight, where restraint is the loudest choice in the room, and where every project earns its silence before it earns its shape. We don't decorate brands. We give them a voice that holds up in black and white.

About this block

Founder StatementPRO

Founder statement with a large blockquote followed by an avatar, name, role, and a monospace signature line.

About67: Founder Statement

Founder statement section: an eyebrow badge and heading above a large blockquote, followed by a circular avatar, the founder's name and role, and an optional signature line. Built for a single, quotable "why we started this" moment rather than a full bio.

Base UI flavor

bash
npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/about67?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/about67.tsx, the badge7 component it uses for the eyebrow badge, and its dependencies.

Quick start

The installed file exports about67Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working section in one line.

tsx
import { About67, about67Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/about67";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return <About67 {...about67Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, the same setup looks like this:

tsx
import { About67 } from "@/components/beste/block/about67";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return (
    <About67
      badge={{ label: "From the founder" }}
      labels={{ signoff: "Written at the desk where it all began" }}
      heading="Why we started this <strong>studio</strong>."
      quote="I spent a decade watching good ideas flattened into templates, so we built a place where restraint could be the loudest choice in the room."
      founder={{
        name: "Jordan Lee",
        role: "Founder & Creative Director",
        avatar: {
          src: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1472099645785-5658abf4ff4e?w=200&h=200&fit=crop",
          alt: "Portrait of Jordan Lee",
        },
      }}
    />
  );
}

Behavior notes

  • quote is rendered as plain text inside a <blockquote>, not through dangerouslySetInnerHTML like heading is, so any HTML in it would show up literally rather than render.
  • The founder row only appears when founder is set; labels.signoff is nested one level further and only shows once founder is present, directly under the role line.
  • The avatar is a fixed size-14 circle with a border, cropped with object-cover, so non-square source images are cropped rather than distorted.
  • The section caps at max-w-3xl, noticeably narrower than the max-w-6xl/max-w-7xl containers used by the other About blocks in this set, keeping the quote's line length readable.
  • The quote scales from text-2xl up to text-4xl at lg with font-semibold and tight leading-snug, making it the visual focal point of the section.
