This one was a little different!
A traditional portfolio will not work for an artist whose work is still evolving. Instead, we built a digital exhibition — a space where process, material, and perception are part of the experience, not just the finished piece.
Studio Investigations is designed to feel like moving through a body of work, not scrolling a website. Linear, editorial, one work at a time, with a CMS built to grow as her practice does.
Not every site needs to follow the same structure. Sometimes the experience should mirror the work itself.

the textural feel of this is gorgeous, way more interesting than a standard portfolio grid

Nice đź‘Ť
I love this concept ♥️
Thank you, same here :)
I love this.
“Sometimes the experience should mirror the work itself”, really love that thought.
Too many portfolios feel identical now, this feels much more intentional and fitting for the artist.

Worked on a full identity and website for a meditation teacher recently.
The hardest part wasn’t the visuals, it was knowing what not to add.
Designing for stillness is a very different discipline.

This looks amazing!
Hey there! Just wanted to share our recent launch for Henderson & Co. - a Sydney-based design studio specialising in architecture, interiors, and identity.
The goal of this project was clarity, precision, and a premium feel without noise. No heavy animations. No distractions. Just clean design, typography, and spacing.
We handled it end-to-end - from design to development - focusing on building a system, not just pages. The hierarchy is clear, the content flows naturally, and the experience stays consistent across all screens.
A key detail is the homepage “vibe” system. Each visit introduces a different visual direction - dune, water, or snow. The structure stays the same, but the first impression shifts. It adds identity without breaking consistency.
What matters here is not visuals alone.
It’s how design, structure, and performance work together to create an experience that feels premium because it’s intentional.
If you’re planning a new website or want to improve your current one, we can review your case and suggest a clear direction.
amazing work
Been pushing asymmetrical layouts a bit more this week and seeing how far they can go before they start feeling off.
There’s a structure underneath everything, but it’s not obvious. Most of it comes down to spacing, alignment, and letting hierarchy guide the composition instead of forcing balance.
I tried to keep the elements minimal and let the tension between them do the work. The goal was to make the layout feel dynamic without losing clarity.
Still experimenting with this direction, open to feedbacks.
Awesome!
