Mercedes Chanquia Aguirre
A personal portfolio for a performing artist, built entirely around her own body of work.
The challenge
Mercedes needed a personal portfolio for her work as a performing artist, but arrived with no defined direction for what the site should look like.
What we did, service by service
Web design
What we found
In the first meeting she walked us through every one of her productions, the countries she'd performed in, and shared PDFs and a large folder of photos for each piece: rich material with no format built to hold it yet.
What we proposed
DevNova proposed the visual direction: a dark, theatrical aesthetic built around her actual work, with words drifting through the background describing what she does: dance, emotion, physicality, rhythm, theater.
How it evolved with the client
Structured the site around what she'd shared in that first meeting: a dedicated space per production, a section for her company, and press reviews, refined with her as the content came together.
The result
A portfolio with sections for productions, company, press reviews and a working contact page: a site that reads like theater, not like a generic personal site.
