When Isabelle Zhao approached me, she had a clear vision—a stunning online portfolio to showcase her artistry. As a photographer who tells stories through her lens, she wanted a site that wasn’t just functional but emotionally resonant. Her work deserved a digital space that reflected her creative brilliance while being approachable and professional.

The Beginning: Designing the Dream Our collaboration started with conversations about what mattered most to her. Isabelle wanted a portfolio that was visually compelling yet simple to navigate, something that would draw viewers in and make them stay.

Using Figma, I designed three custom pages:

The Homepage: A bold yet welcoming introduction to Isabelle and her work, inviting visitors to explore her journey.

The Portfolio Page: A carefully crafted gallery where her photos took center stage, with interactive elements that brought them to life.

The Contact Page: A user-friendly space for inquiries, featuring a clean form and links to her social profiles, making it easy for clients to connect.

These designs weren’t just about aesthetics—they were about creating an experience that felt uniquely hers.

Bringing the Vision to Life The next step was translating these designs into a live, functional website using Framer. This wasn’t just about development; it was about ensuring her site felt alive, just like her photography.

Interactive Details: I added subtle hover effects and smooth transitions, giving the site a dynamic, polished feel.

Responsive Design: From desktops to smartphones, the site adapts perfectly to any screen size, ensuring her portfolio always looks its best.

Empowerment: To keep Isabelle in control, I provided her with full access to the Framer project and a walkthrough on how to make updates easily.

The Reveal: A Digital Reflection of Isabelle When we launched the site, it was everything Isabelle had hoped for—and more. It’s not just a portfolio; it’s a digital extension of her art. The clean layout, engaging visuals, and seamless functionality give her work the spotlight it deserves.

Now, Isabelle has a platform that not only showcases her photography but also helps her connect with clients and grow her business. It’s a website that tells her story, just like she tells stories through her lens.

For me, this wasn’t just another project—it was about helping an artist share her passion with the world in a way that truly represents who she is.
