Most creatives build portfolios to showcase their work “here’s what I’ve done.”

The ones that actually work are built differently from the start. Marketing is baked into it's DNA from the start. The thinking is clear, the case studies carry a point of view, the writing builds trust, and the positioning holds everything together.

This shifts it from display to direction. It creates the conditions for the right person to arrive, understand the work, and feel a natural pull toward it.

Not “hire me.” More like — this fits.

A little Halloween idea turned into Pumpkin Studio 🎃

I wanted to bring the fun of pumpkin carving to the browser. Rotate a 3D pumpkin, cut out shapes, or draw your own design.

Built with Three.js, with a focus on realistic textures, simple controls, and a clean interface.

Give it a try—I’d love to see what you carve. Try it out- https://pumpkin-studio-maneesh.netlify.app/
