Joshua Janes

Independent concept · Implemented experience

Room to explore. A way to stay oriented.

An artist’s portfolio becomes a world to explore: an orbiting archive, a project carousel and a playful invitation to connect.

My contribution

Art direction, interaction design and frontend development of the independent portfolio experience. The implementation combines React, Three.js and GSAP with named chapter navigation, project discovery and responsive controls. Artwork and illustration are Joshua Janes’s.

Creative frontend / In motion

Explore the experience behind the work.

Original interaction, character and responsive behavior make this a project to experience—not just a picture to inspect.

01
The customer’s question

What kind of work can I explore?

Make the breadth of the work visible.

An interactive project world invites exploration across a varied creative practice.

In the interface

An implemented artwork globe and a project carousel offer two ways into the archive.

02
The customer’s question

How do I find my way?

Keep routes available while exploring.

The concept pairs spatial discovery with clear ways to enter specific work.

In the interface

Named navigation and project paths provide orientation beyond the visual world.

03
The customer’s question

What is behind a project?

Let discovery lead into the work.

The exploratory surface is an invitation to inspect the creative material rather than an end in itself.

In the interface

Project destinations open deeper artwork collections. The portfolio preview records the real local build without loading that application into this page.

Five views / One illustrated world

Look around the details.

Owner-supplied screenshots of the published demonstration, October 2026. The recorded tour above shows the motion; these views make the interface easier to inspect.
