Portfolio

A personal showcase built around the work, not the bio.

The challenge

A designer's portfolio has one job: get out of the way of the work while still feeling authored. The old site did the opposite — template energy, no point of view.

Inside Portfolio

Key screens from the shipped experience — structure first, drama second.

Portfolio — interface
Approach

We built the layout from the work outward: generous plates, a strict typographic scale, and navigation reduced to a single thread so every visit becomes a guided walkthrough.

Design
system

A minimal monochrome palette with muted highlights — built to scale across every surface.

Outcome

The portfolio reads as a statement piece. It carries interviews and applications on its own, and the case pages hold attention to the last screen.

What we did

Positioning, identity, editorial layout system, and a production build with motion where it earns its place.
