Portfolio as a Marketing System
A portfolio built around content, visitor journeys, behavioural learning and clear paths to relevant work.
My role Portfolio direction, information architecture, visitor journeys, visual direction and build.
People arrive from Instagram, from search, from a forwarded link, or straight onto one project page. Each of them needs to know where they are and what else is here. The work keeps growing as well, and a list of projects stops explaining itself after the first few.
What a visitor needs first is not more work but a clearer sense of where they are. The structure is doing its job when the next useful decision is easier to make.
The work was treated as one system rather than as a set of pages. The question was not how each page should look, but what a reader needs at each point: enough to know where they are, enough to understand a piece of work, and an obvious way onward. Depth is deliberately uneven. A reader who is deciding gets four answers within a minute; a reader who is studying the site can keep going for much longer. That was the main structural decision, one catalogue at two speeds, with no dead ends.
A visitor can reach relevant work from any entry point, understand a project's thinking without leaving the page, and learn the terminology as they move through the site. Behaviour data shows which projects hold attention and which pages visitors leave early, and the structure changes in response.
