NAVIGATION EXPLORATION

Several categorisation systems were explored to understand how visitors would browse the portfolio. The final direction focused on reducing complexity while keeping projects easy to discover across different disciplines and project types.

"Working with TMS was a highly collaborative experience. They helped organise our projects, ideas, and narratives into a website that feels clear, scalable, and easy for visitors to navigate while reflecting the values of our studio."
