Provident

Provident works in infrastructure and financial strategy. Most projects on its website are over $100 million. The previous site didn't show that scale, and it didn't explain clearly what the firm does.

( What I took on )

Vincent Pagé was Creative Director in the early phase. I led the first client presentation, with the wireframes. From there, the client relationship stayed with me through launch. Along the way, I set the content architecture, directed the copy, defined the visual system and designed the site. I prepared the handoff and closed the project with final QA.

The scale, shown instead of claimed

I approached the site as an architecture studio's portfolio inside a large corporate website. Provident's credibility lives in the scale of its projects, and a portfolio shows that instead of saying it. The structure came before the style.

Everything new but the logo

The logo stayed. Typography, color and the rules for composing each page were all new. The direction was institutional: solid, without noise, so the projects carry the weight.

Photography as part of the system

The team portraits didn't hold together: different backgrounds, uneven quality, and many people without one. I treated it as a problem of the system, not of individual photos. I proposed a way to rebuild the portraits as one consistent series and ran the first tests. It became a separate piece of work for the client.

( The result )

The site launched in 2026 with no design iterations, only minor copy adjustments. Another member of the team built it from my handoff documentation, and I reviewed the build before launch. It's still online exactly as designed.
