Challange
Mariana's work is rooted in authenticity, intention, and meaningful relationships.
The challenge was to design a portfolio that expressed those values while allowing her projects to speak for themselves. Instead of relying on elaborate visuals or complex interactions, the experience needed to feel calm, personal, and effortlessly intuitive.
Goal
Create a minimalist portfolio that communicates Mariana's personality from the very first line of copy, presents her work with clarity, and reinforces the values behind Heart On Studio.
Every design decision needed to support a simple browsing experience where content and craftsmanship became the primary focus.
Solution
I designed and developed the website in Framer using a restrained visual system centered around typography, spacing, and hierarchy.
The homepage opens with a concise personal introduction followed by a curated selection of projects, creating an immediate connection between Mariana and her work. A dedicated About page extends her story and philosophy, resulting in a portfolio that feels honest, timeless, and intentionally minimal.
