Context
Where the work started
The studio needed a stronger public face for projects, capabilities, and contact without adding editorial complexity.
Problem
What needed to change
The existing presentation was visually interesting but hard to update and inconsistent across project pages.
Constraints
What shaped the solution
- Respect image-heavy project content
- Keep the project hierarchy clear
- Make content updates practical after handoff
Process
How I moved through it
- Defined a project taxonomy that fit both brand and operations.
- Balanced image-led presentation with text legibility.
- Built reusable page sections so updates stayed lightweight.
- Added a clear contact path for inquiries.
Solution
What shipped
Rebuilt the website around a maintainable content model and a more composed project story flow.
Result / Impact
What changed
The portfolio became easier to browse, easier to update, and better aligned with how the studio wanted to be perceived.
Sharper first impression without a heavier editorial workload.
Reflection
What I learned
- A good portfolio system is part presentation, part operations.
- Editing shape matters as much as visual shape.
