During my exchange semester at the University for the Creative Arts, I built the first online portfolio for Sophie Sadler, a British emerging artist with no digital presence. I didn't want to just make a gallery. I wanted the site to tell her story. After one conversation about how she works, I had my concept: the scroll experience mirrors her creative process, opening in deliberate chaos and gradually resolving into something spectacular.

To bring that to life:

  • Scroll narrative that moves from visual chaos to a cohesive showcase of her work

  • Blue palette to contrast her intense paintings and honor her personal color

  • Signature video intro: the first thing you see is her hand signing her name

  • Texture and 3D layering to give the digital space a physical, tactile presence

  • 3 original videos I filmed and edited: her process, a timelapse, and her origins as an artist

Full creative ownership: concept, design, video, and code. The result is a site Sophie said felt unmistakably like her. That was the only goal that mattered.
