Problem: Analytics showed a heavy drop-off on the final step where users were asked for name, phone, and email all at once, it felt like handing over everything in a single ask.
Action: Restructured the form by moving the email field to an earlier step, separating it from the phone field so the contact ask felt more progressive and less invasive.
Result: The repositioned email field reduced friction at the final step and lifted overall conversions by 3.48%.
I explored a portfolio website for Meriot, a product designer based in the Netherlands who wanted a digital presence that felt more personal, editorial, and design-focused.
The challenge was to avoid the typical portfolio formula and create something that communicates personality within the first few seconds.
The direction
→ Bold editorial typography
→ Strong personal photography
→ Minimal black-and-white foundation
→ Warm orange accent for CTAs
→ Simple, structured navigation
→ Clear positioning as a product designer
→ A portfolio experience that feels like a personal brand
The idea was to make the website feel confident without being complicated.
Rather than leading with a long introduction, the hero immediately communicates who Meriot is, what he does, and where the visitor should go next.
