Stilson Greene Creative Portfolio
A portfolio site built to keep the work — and the owner — in control
Stilson Greene needed a portfolio that reflected his graphic design and illustration work without making every update a developer request. BaristaLabs rebuilt the site around his visual work and gave him a content workflow he could manage himself.

The Challenge
Stilson needed a professional portfolio that could present a broad graphic design and illustration practice while staying easy to update without technical help. The site had to support the work instead of distracting from it.
Our Solution
BaristaLabs built a responsive portfolio using Next.js and Payload CMS, with a gallery and content-management workflow designed around Stilson's ongoing updates. The design kept the creative work central while giving the owner direct control over future changes.
