## Summary

Free portfolio template

## Description

**Michel is an immersive editorial Framer portfolio template for art directors, creative directors, digital designers, and independent studios who want their work to feel as distinctive online as it does in the real world.**

Built around bold typography, image-led storytelling, and expressive motion, Michel turns a traditional portfolio into a memorable digital experience. Its refined editorial structure keeps the focus on your work, while carefully crafted interactions add depth, personality, and a premium sense of art direction.

Custom WebGL distortion effects transform the viewport and bring images and typography to life on interaction. Text and visuals respond fluidly on hover, magnetic links introduce playful staggered type animations, a circular kinetic text carousel creates continuous movement, and a Rolodex-inspired image carousel gives project imagery a tactile, dimensional feel.

The template includes everything needed to build a complete creative portfolio: a striking Home page, a dedicated Work archive, an in-depth About page, and individual project case studies designed to showcase the story behind each piece — from overview and services to project details and related work.

Michel is ideal for **art director portfolios, creative director portfolios, designer portfolios, motion and digital designers, multidisciplinary creatives, freelancers, and boutique creative studios** working across branding, digital design, development, fashion, technology, culture, and visual communication.
