Project_Overview
AnuArts needed a portfolio that matched the quality of their photography — fast, immersive, and easy to update without a developer. The existing website was a template that didn't reflect their brand, lacked a CMS, and had poor mobile experience.
Operational_Process
Designed a minimal, image-forward layout prioritizing full-bleed visuals. Built a lightweight custom CMS so the photographer could upload, organize, and publish galleries independently. Integrated Cloudinary for optimized image delivery.

Co-designed a minimal, dark-themed aesthetic with the designer that puts imagery first and removes all visual clutter.
