What it does

ThoughtLab presents category-first brand and product work as a dark portfolio sequence. One large organic portal acts as a moving canvas for selected cases, followed by capability, news, and contact sections.

Section roster

1. Fixed logo, partnership claim, contact action, and dark hero with an irregular reflective portal. 2. Selected-work sequence cycling Wander Jaunt, Varex Imaging, Capsule House, and other case imagery. 3. Capability statement and proof/content sections. 4. News list, contact prompt, and compact footer.

Why it works

The evolving portal gives every case a shared visual frame while keeping the page sparse. Black space, silver type, and a single hot-pink action make the content feel like a studio reel instead of a conventional agency grid.

The live capture at https://www.thoughtlab.com/ supplies current desktop/mobile layout and measured tokens. Both sources show the same dark portfolio direction.
