A portfolio is a room, not a list

A portfolio is a room, not a list

Most portfolios are a grid of thumbnails. I wanted mine to feel like walking through an exhibition.

A grid treats every project the same. A room lets you stage them: one large piece at eye level, smaller studies around it, some empty wall to breathe. That is what this canvas tries to do.

Curating is design

Choosing what hangs next to what tells a story before anyone reads a word. I keep the anchors to two or three projects and let the rest support them.

The index is still there for people in a hurry. But the room is where the work gets remembered.
