A director with national brands in her reel. A portfolio that moves like her films.
Hannah Varnell is a creative director and director in Austin, Texas. H-E-B, Procter & Gamble, and Square are in her commercial grid, alongside her own documentary and founder-portrait work. The Sites engagement built hannahvarnell.com end to end: a film-first director portfolio in her own art direction, designed around her footage instead of on top of it.
A director’s portfolio has one job: get out of the footage’s way while still carrying a point of view. Template portfolio platforms do the first half and flatten the second, so every director ends up with the same grid. Hannah’s work has a distinct visual language, and the site had to hold it: her typography, her pacing, her color, with the films doing the talking.
- A film-first single page. Full-bleed stills and reels, with the interface receding to captions and section numbers.
- Her own art direction carried through. Editorial serif wordmark, lowercase system type, a dark room for the footage to glow in.
- A commercial grid that leads with the brand work: H-E-B, Procter & Gamble, Square, and her documentary and founder-portrait pieces.
- Press presented with the work, not buried on a separate page.
- A contact surface that states it plainly: available worldwide, based in Austin, Texas.
