Overview
Portfolio website for stylist Ch'lita built around editorial image presentation and simple CMS updates.
The Challenge
The site needed to support strong image presentation without adding visual clutter or creating layout instability.
Approach
1. Subtractive Design
The interface was kept deliberately spare so the styling work remained the focus.
2. Image-First Architecture
The image system was tuned for stable layout, responsive cropping, and good performance.
3. CMS for Independence
Sanity was set up so the client could manage portfolio content without developer involvement.
Outcome
A stable, image-led portfolio that the client can update independently.
98+
Performance
100%
Client Independence
Learnings
- →Restraint is harder than addition. Every feature you don't add is a decision.
- →The best client work happens when you understand their craft, not just their requirements.
- →Performance is a design choice. A slow portfolio undermines the work it's showing.
