From This to This! 2023 to 2026
Non-designers will say its too easy to make that type of Nike page but Behind that there is my 3 years of dedication. I learnt from nothing to something
Designing is not about playing with shapes and texts but to play with them correctly placing them where they fits perfectly just playing is like placing a cube in a circle place.
You have to understand user psychology to understand what user/consumer want to see in a homepage or in any-other page if your page is too simple or there is too much traffic the user will be frustrating and ending up closing the browser or App.
many people thinks designing is all about chilling in a room with a cup of coffee t your desk and just comfortably making shapes, But they don't understand designers
sometimes designer is out of ideas can't think of perfect design. the same comfortable room turns out to be a jail. š¤·āāļø
at the end of this story I just want to give respect to the designer who are struggling to make best designs to serve the users š¤
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
ā Bold editorial typography
ā Strong personal photography
ā Minimal black-and-white foundation
ā Warm orange accent for CTAs
ā Simple, structured navigation
ā Clear positioning as a product designer
ā 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.
The headline says "Collaborate with data, not just analyze it" and the entire visual system is reinforcing that exact position. Data isn't cold infrastructure you feed queries into. It's something alive that grows when humans interact with it. The moss on architecture is literally that metaphor made visual: natural intelligence layered on top of built systems.
