François Audouy
François Audouy is one of Hollywood’s leading production designers, known for shaping the visual worlds of Logan, Ford v Ferrari, and A Complete Unknown. Tasked with creating a digital home that reflected both the scale of his work and the intimacy of his craft, I designed a portfolio site that balances cinematic elegance with practical clarity. While designing, animating, and producing content, the development kicked into gear and I oversaw two developers building on WordPress. The site acts as a curated archive—equal parts gallery, professional resource, and personal expression—giving audiences, collaborators, and industry insiders a window into the mind of a designer whose work shapes the modern blockbuster.

challenge
François’ work is expansive, yet deeply considered—spanning decades, genres, and visual styles. The challenge was to create a digital experience that could hold this breadth without feeling overwhelming or self-important. It needed to feel timeless, not trend-driven; editorial, not promotional. The site had to balance the needs of a discerning industry audience with the quiet authority of a designer who prefers the spotlight on the story, the work, not necessarily himself.
