01The idea

A portfolio that reads like a zine. The only style reference is Boys Don't Cry: white paper, typewriter, full-bleed photos next to small ones with plenty of air, and blocks of flat colour.

Each photo set is a magazine issue. On desktop it reads two pages at a time; on a phone, one by one.

Projects, on the other hand, are not zines: they are workshop spec sheets, with the facts on top and text and figures below.

02Decisions

Static Astro: HTML and hardly any JavaScript.

Ten page templates sized against the page itself, so they look the same at any size.

Spanish and English throughout: if a translation is missing, the site won't build.

Photos on Cloudinary; site on Cloudflare, deployed on every push.

Content editable locally with Keystatic, no server needed.
