How did SUFFIX design the portfolio website for Jan Mantanakorn?

Jan Mantanakorn's work centers on fashion and beauty, so the website had to lead with image. SUFFIX took an image-first approach, with photography and video as the main element on every page. The text that describes the work supports the visual rather than competing with it. The approach matches the nature of the work itself, where visual is the strongest form of communication, and the first thing an agency or brand looks at before deciding to reach out.

Why visual display has to come first on a Fashion Film director's website

A director's website is not like a typical corporate site. The image and video work is a portfolio that speaks for itself. Most visitors are agencies or brands that want to see style and quality of work first. SUFFIX designed the site so image and video render sharply at every screen size, removed unnecessary elements, and placed typography where it can inform without disrupting the visual experience for the viewer.

Designed for the audience of agencies and brands

A director's portfolio website has a clear audience, advertising agencies and brands, especially in the cosmetics and personal care industry that are looking for a director for a new project.

SUFFIX did not focus only on presenting the work. The team gave equal weight to two areas that shape the decision, an About page that summarizes experience and working style concisely, and contact channels that are easy to reach. For this audience, the path from "see the work" to "reach out" needs to be short and free of friction.
